Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement thermique d'un élément métallique. L'invention concerne notamment une application dans le cas d'un durcissement partiel d'éléments réalisés dans un acier manganèse-bore hautement résistant et éventuellement dotés préalablement d'un revêtement. Lors de ce procédé, au moins une première zone partielle (2) de l'élément (1) est refroidie par convection à l'aide d'au moins une buse (3) qui délivre un flux de fluide (4) en direction de la première zone partielle (2), de manière à régler une différence de température (5) d'au moins 100 K entre l'au moins une première zone partielle (2) et au moins une deuxième zone partielle (6) de l'élément (1), l'au moins une buse (3) fonctionnant avec une pression positive d'au moins 2 bar.
