The process relates to the production of a green from slurry by solidification after injection into a mold having a temperature of less than 0.degree. C. The mold and moveable parts of a jack ensure closure thereof and are housed within a gas-tight vessel. A distributor for dry gas with a dew point lower than the temperature of the mold emits a gas current through apertures. The green is conducted outside the vessel through an aperture which is opened in a continuous or discontinuous manner. The process is applicable to the production of sintered metallic or ceramic parts with high density and high performance mechanical characteristics.

Process for injection molding of slurries

A device for the production of a green from slurry by solidification after injection into a mold having a temperature of less than 0.degree. C. The device includes a mold having a jack wherein moveable parts of the jack ensure closure thereof and which are housed within a gas-tight vessel. A distributor for dry gas with a dew point lower then the temperature of the mold emits a gas current into the vessel through apertures. A chute conducts the green towards an exit aperture and to a receiving member outside the vessel.

Device for injection molding of slurries

An extraction device for a metal tube obtained by hot extrusion is located along an extrusion axis downstream of the die of an extrusion press. The extraction device has a group of elastic metal fingers for gripping the tube against a bearing surface of a discharge chute receiving the extruded tube. The fingers are joined at one end to a rotatable shaft in order to bring the fingers into elastic contact with an outer wall of the tube. A double-acting jack is connected directly or indirectly to the shaft in such a way as to permit the displacement of the tube clamped by the fingers towards the downstream end and to thereby extract its upstream end from the die.
