Abstract: In a method for operating an indirect extrusion press, wherein the indirect extrusion press includes an indirect punch having a tool head that can be accommodated on the indirect punch, a closure piece, and a longitudinally movable block holder having a material block accommodation for accommodating a material block, after pressing a material block and forming a shell in a shell chamber, a tool head to be replaced is pushed out of the block holder by a tool head to be inserted, so that very operationally reliable removal of a shell formed during one or more pressing procedures is possible. For this purpose, an indirect extrusion press can have a maximal distance between a closure piece and an indirect punch that corresponds at least to the sum of the expanses of the tool head and of the block holder in the movement direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for forming, in particular for cold forming, here in particular for cold extruding, a workpiece, which device has a forming die and a feed device by means of which a relative movement can be generated between the workpiece and the forming die, wherein the device has a frequency generating device which interacts with the feed device and by which the relative movement between the workpiece and the forming die, as generated by the feed device, can be modulated in such a way that following a forward stroke in which the workpiece and/or the forming die pass through a first stroke travel in the feeding direction, a movement of the forming die and/or of the workpiece can be effected in a subsequent reverse stroke, over a second stroke travel in a direction opposite to the feeding direction, and to a method for forming a workpiece wherein a relative movement between the workpiece and a forming die is generated by a feed device, which relative movement between the workpiece an

Abstract: A method for forming hollow profiles is disclosed. In one exemplary method, a hollow profile is guided through a die in a processing direction and fixed by a mandrel such that at the die, the hollow profile has a material flow velocity in this processing direction (2), in which the method the mandrel has a drawing velocity in the processing direction that is greater than the material flow velocity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for forming, in particular for cold forming, here in particular for cold extruding, a workpiece (2), which device (1) has a forming die (3) and a feed device (5), by means of which a relative movement can be generated between the workpiece (2) and the forming die (3), wherein the device (1) has a frequency generating device (10) which interacts with the feed device (5), by means of which frequency generating device (10) the relative movement between the workpiece (2) and the forming die (3) as generated by the feed device (5) can be modulated in such a way that, after a forward stroke in which the workpiece (2) and/or the forming die (3) passes through a first stroke travel in the feed direction (P), in a subsequent rearward stroke, a movement of the forming die (3) and/or of the workpiece (2) by a second stroke travel can be carried out in a direction counter to the feed direction (P).

Abstract: A method of plastically forming splines on a shaft-like workpiece is provided. The volume of part of the shaft-like workpiece on which the splines are plastically formed is generally the same as the volume of plastically processed portion following processing. In addition, the part on which the splines are formed first is made with a maximum diameter. The shaft-like workpiece extends from the first formed part toward the part that is not plastically processed in a conical shape.

Abstract: A clad billet 120 has a core material 122 of which outer surface is coated by a coating material 124. A circular front plate 126 is provided at the head of the clad billet 120. The front plate 126 is made of the same material as the coating material 124. As the clad billet 120 is extruded, the front plate 126 first flows out. Accordingly, instead of the core material 122, the front plate 126 forms dead metal. Moreover, since this front plate 126 is made of the same material as the coating material 124, a defective clad such as a three layer clad are not formed. Also, since a billet thrusting face 102a is tapered toward an axis A of a die at an angle of 55-85 degrees, the volume of dead metal itself is reduced, and therefore it is possible to flow out the defective clad, even if it is generated, at an early stage of extrusion.

Abstract: Micromachined extrusions on the micrometer scale is realized using compressive stresses resulting from electromigration-induced mass transport in planarized conductors. Extrusions are formed through simple die patterns etched through a passivation layer overlaying the conductors.

Abstract: The apparatus for extrusion of material includes a process chamber provided in front of a die thereby serving to control parameters of the extrusion method. A die hold is provided to serve both as a structure for mounting a die in the front end of a hollow stem and a process chamber in front of a die. Preferably the process chamber is provided with structure for establishing resistance to the material to control the flow of material through the chamber. The control structure is adapted to serve both as a temperature regulating device for achieving an optimum temperature of the metal inside the process chamber and as a position controlling device for controlling the position of the metal inside the process chamber during the loading of a new billet.

Abstract: A drive system for the container holder and the travelling beam of a metal extruder press in which a return stroke is accelerated by connecting the annular chambers of the travelling beam and container holder cylinders to a pressurization force and with the full piston area chambers of the container holder connected to a tank, connecting the full piston area chambers of the travelling beam to the pressure source as well.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus for the cold-forming, in particular for the cold extrusion of a workpiece, which has a die (3) and a feeding device (5) by means of which a relative motion can be produced between the workpiece (2) and the die (3). It is provided that the apparatus (1; 1′) has a frequency generating device (10) working together with the feeding device (5) by means of which the relative motion between workpiece (2) and die (3), produced by the feeding device (5), can be modulated in such a way that after a forward stroke, in which the workpiece (2) and/or the die (3) is moved a first stroke length in the direction of feed (P), in a subsequent reverse stroke, a movement of the die (3) and/or of the workpiece (2) by a second stroke length can be carried out in a direction contrary to the direction of feed (P).
