METHOD OF HOLLOW VESSEL MANUFACTURE AND RING FOR WALLS IRONING DURING HOLLOW VESSEL MANUFACTURE METHOD REALIZATION

摘要

Thickness of sidewall of cup (17) drawn from laminate of polyester film and sheet Al or Al alloy is reduced using wall ironing ring (8,11,14) through which a punch (1) is passed, the ring having a frustoconical entry surface (24) converging at 1-4 deg.C to a central axis perpendicular to the plane of the ringlnad terminating at a land (25) of short length. A divergent exit surface (26) extends from the land at 5-15 deg. The ring is made from a wear resistant material having a thermal conductivity greater than 50 watts per metre deg. C.
