发明名称 DEFORMATION APPARATUS (AS AMENDED)
摘要 Apparatus configured to deform a tubular work piece having a longitudinal axis, the apparatus comprising a support for supporting a tubular work piece to be deformed; rotation means for rotating the tubular work piece about its longitudinal axis; a nozzle for directing a stream of pressurised fluid at the tubular work piece in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tubular work piece; and means for moving one or both of the tubular work piece and the nozzle relative to one another such that the stream of pressurised fluid can be aimed at a plurality of locations along the tubular work piece; wherein the pressure of the fluid directed at the tubular work piece is great enough to cause deformation of the tubular work piece, but not so great that cutting of the tubular work piece can occur.

主权项 1. A forming apparatus comprising: a support for supporting a tubular work piece having a longitudinal axis; rotation means for rotating the tubular work piece about the longitudinal axis; a nozzle for directing a stream of pressurised fluid at the tubular work piece in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis; wherein one or both of the tubular work piece and the nozzle is movable relative to the other such that the stream of pressurised fluid can be aimed at a plurality of locations along the tubular work piece; and wherein the pressure of the stream of pressurized fluid directed at the tubular work piece is great enough to cause deformation of the tubular work piece, but not so great that cutting of the tubular work piece can occur.
