<p>In a process for shaping the end of a tube (2) with an oblong cross-section to a circular cross-section the shaping occurs in a single radial compression stage from the exterior. The tube (2) is disposed with its shortest axis in correspondence with two fixed opposite surfaces (12, 14), having a circular profile with a radius of curvature (R) which is approximately equal to the radius of the circular section of the tube which is to be obtained. A radial compression is then exerted along the longest axis of the oblong section of the non-deformed tube by a pair of shaping surfaces (22, 24) having an angular extension which is complementary to those of the fixed opposite surfaces (12, 14). <IMAGE></p> |
