Abstract
A method for producing a hardened sheet steel, in particular a sheet steel that is coated with a metallic anti-corrosion layer; the sheet steel is first heated to an austenitization temperature and the austenite transformation is completed and then the sheet steel is pre-cooled to a temperature that lies above the transformation temperature of the austenite to other phases and is then transferred to a press-hardening die and in the press-hardening die, is shaped and, for hardening purposes, is quenched; for pre-cooling purposes, the blank is blasted in at least some areas or zones with dry ice, dry snow, or a gas flow containing dry ice particles.
