A method for manufacturing elongated dense bodies of metals or metal alloys by extrusion of a powder charge enclosed in a metal capsule. A closed, powder-filled capsule is heated to a temperature necessary for bonding the charge under pressure, and the capsule is then inserted in a pressure chamber and surrounded by a layer of a solid, readily deformable material, such as talcum powder or pyrophyllite. A piston is inserted into the pressure chamber and subjects the capsule and the surrounding material to a pressure such that the capsule and the surrounding material are pressed out together through an opening in a die. Tubes can also be extruded, with the deformable packing material filling the tube bore. |
