Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0995512A2] The deformation process comprises deforming the workpiece (10) with working fluid flowing through its cavity (12) by a punch (16). At least one sealing element (26) is taken outward radially through the working fluid and is laid against a joint (36) between the strip and the punch. The working fluid is taken out of the cavity for the sealing element and into the strip cavity. An Independent claim is also included for a device to implement the process, comprising a punch extension made as a separate part, joined to the head part of the punch which forms the radial shoulder surface. The annular groove may project in an axially parallel direction part of the way into the shoulder surface.
