Abstract

An apparatus for calibration of tubular articles, especially cylinder linings for internal combustion engines, manufactured through isostatic compression of pulverulent metallic materials, comprises piston means for effecting an axial displacement between the tubular article and a mandrel which it surrounds during the calibration. Preferably, the tubular article is first subjected to a rather modest radial inwardly directed pressure which is increased after an axial relative movement between the mandrel and the tubular article has taken place.
