Localized rapid cooling for metal forming

A metallic part, the metallic part comprising:

• one or more target portions cooled by locally spraying cooling fluid from a forming tool onto the one or more target portions without spraying the cooling fluid onto at least some non-target portions, the one or more target portions comprising relatively thick portions of the metallic part compared to other areas of the metallic part, the forming tool comprising one or more cooling elements located in proximity to the relatively thick portions so as to spray the cooling fluid onto, and locally cool, the relatively thick areas of the metallic part.

A metallic part, the metallic part comprising:

• one or more target portions comprising relatively thick portions of the metallic part compared to other areas of the metallic part,
• wherein the one or more target portions comprise a surface pattern that the other areas of the metallic part do not have, the surface pattern imparted by cooling fluid from one or more cooling elements of a forming tool because, after being heated in a furnace and then formed into a formed shape by the forming tool, the one or more target portions are cooled by locally spraying the cooling fluid from the forming tool onto the one or more target portions, without spraying the cooling fluid onto the other areas.
