Abstract

A form-fitting cast-on enclosure arrangement has parallel chucking surfaces for the fixing of metallic workpieces with irregular contours to be processed. A process is provided for the manufacturing and separating of the enclosure arrangement. The enclosure arrangement is made of plastic material and consists of several spaced ribs which are connected by webs. The enclosure arrangement has the advantage that workpieces with irregular contours can be enclosed in a cost-effective and fast manner and can be finished or repaired.
