<p>. Part forming apparatus by flow forging. An apparatus for forming a shaped part from a work includes two members spaced away from one another, which defines a pressure zone. First and second dies clamp the work therebetween, and a first roller conveyer transports at least one of the dies along a transport direction. At least one of the members defines an inclination with the transport direction so as to cause to pressure zone to converge therealong. A drive mechanism drives the dies to and from the pressure zone; one of the dies includes a plurality of adjoining pressuretransferring elements. Each pressure-transferring element has a pressure-transfer surface on one end thereof facing the one of the members, and a molding surface on the other end thereof. Self-adjustable devices are interposed between the one of the members and the pressure-transfer surface of the pressure-transferrig elements for maximizing pressure transfer to the pressure-transfer surface.</p> |
