Abstract

The process is characterized by means of successively executed displacements of material of a work piece into the inner bore diameter at different points of the mouth of a bore. The displacement of the material is executed by means of a die that can be moved at least approximately in the direction of the bore axis. The process for tightly closing a bore can preferably be used with work pieces comprised of ductile material, in particular an aluminum wrought alloy.
