Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cooling system comprising a first sheet steel item having a first surface configured to accommodate one or more objects to be cooled, and a second surface joined to a first surface of a second steel sheet item forming a shell. In an embodiment the join may be a weld or a rivet or a plurality thereof. In one embodiment at least one of the second surface of the first sheet steel item and the first surface of the second sheet steel item have been formed to produce one or more conduits for forming one or more channels, whereby said joining forms said channels for coolant in a space between the second surface of the first sheet steel item and the first surface of the second sheet steel sheet.

At least one protrusion (5, 13, 23, 33, 43) is achieved to at least one of the metal pieces (3, 4; 11, 12; 21, 22; 31, 32; 41, 42) to be welded together, and at least one opening (2, 14, 24, 34, 44) is achieved to at least one material piece (1, 15, 25, 35, 45) which is positioned between the metal pieces (3, 4; 11, 12; 21, 22; 31, 32; 41, 42) to be welded and isolated (16, 17; 26; 36) from the metal pieces to be welded. At least one part of the protrusion (5, 13, 23, 33, 43) in one of those metal pieces to be welded together is taken through the opening (2, 14, 24, 34, 44) in order to have mechanical contact through the upper end of the protrusion (5, 13, 23, 33, 43) with the second metal piece to be welded.

The invention relates for a method for partial hardening of an austenitic steel by utilizing during cold deformation the TWIP (Twinning Induced Plasticity), TWIP/TRIP or TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) hardening effect. Cold deformation is carried out by cold rolling on at least one surface (2,3;12) of the material (1,11) to be deformed with forming degree (Φ) at the range of 5 ≤ Φ ≤ 60 % in order to achieve in the material (1,11) at least two consecutive areas (5,7;14,16) with different mechanical values in thickness, yield strength Rp0.2, tensile strength Rm and elongation having a ratio (r) between ultimate load ratio ΔF and the thickness ratio Δt at the range of 1.0 > r > 2.0, and which areas are mechanically achieved to connect to each other by a transition area (6;15) which thickness is achieved variable from the thickness (t1,t3) of the first area (5,14) in the deformation direction (4,13) to the thickness (t2,t4) of the second area (7,16) in the deformation direction (4,13). The invention also relates to the use of the cold deformed product.
