Abstract

Shapes with circular corrugations are produced by spinning a sheet metal blank under the action of oppositely directed deforming and backing forces. The blank is given the configuration of an envelope of revolution with a continuously diverging flare and is secured at the end nearest to the geometrical apex of the flare, and the circular corrugations are formed sequentially from the smaller towards the larger diameter by applying a concentrated deforming force to the inside surface of the blank, the deforming force being directed along the blank axis.
