Abstract
This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for lubricated forward extrusion of metals and alloys with radial forward removal of an outer shell or sheath. The method according to the invention consists of forming a gap in the form of a plane or slightly truncated cone-shaped circular outer ring having a constant thickness (j) and span (h) and open to the atmosphere between the end of the container adjacent to its bore and the assembly of extrusion tools situated opposite thereto. To facilitate the formation and especially the extraction of the outer shell, the extrusion apparatus comprises several knives situated in the above described gap, having their cutting edge directed towards the axis of the container and dividing the outer shell into as many 'petals' in the course of extrusion.
