FIELD: process engineering.SUBSTANCE: proposed process comprises removal of fused metal from crucible fused metal surface level along with retention of fused metal shape by surface film (F) formed at outer surface. At solidification of retained fused metal (MS) removed along preset path (L1), fused metal is shaped as required by application of external force thereto ay displacement of outer and inner elements.EFFECT: simplified process without use of dies.16 cl, 2 ex, 6 dwg
