Method for manufacturing of curved and quenched profiled elements and a die tool for carrying out the method

A method for the manufacture of curved and quenched profile elements from closed profile elements, beams, or similar in using a die tool (5) with relatively movable tool halves (9, 9′) for curving profile elements, a profile element (2) heated to the quenching temperature being pushed in between the die tool halves and is curved to a form provided by the die tool, whereafter the profile element is cooled down by means of a flushing or a showering with a cooling liquid, wherein that as a die tool (5) tool halves (9, 9′) are used, being at their each other facing sides provided with facing, alternating, circumferential ribs (13) and grooves (14), the cooling liquid being supplied to the die tool (5) with the therein contained and curved profile element (2) and in that the cooling liquid is led through the die tool (5) and thereby on the outside of the therein contained profile element for dissipating heat from the profile element (2). Wherein the relatively moveable tool halves with the profile element contained therein are transported in a forward direction along manufacturing path to a cooling device prior to the cooling step and wherein the cooled profile element is transported in the forward direction to remove it from the cooling device after the cooling step.
