Abstract

A method of forming a closed-end vessel by backward extrusion comprises providing an extrusion billet having a front surface with an axial recess and a body of an extrudable material positioned in the recess. Backward extrusion results in the formation of a closed-ended vessel, for example a pressurized gas cylinder, composed of the material of the extrusion billet with a weld bonded inner surface lining of the extrudable material.
