摘要

Production of a hardened sheet metal profile (2) comprises deforming the profile from an original shape into a predetermined intermediate shape, heating the deformed profile to a hardening temperature, and hardening the heated profile by defined cooling. An independent claim is also included for a device (1) for defined cooling of a sheet metal profile comprising cooling openings (7, 8) for introducing coolant and separated from each other.
