Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1252947A2] A bar-shaped semi-finished part (1) of aluminum is heated to forming temperature, its first end (2) is upset in a mold (4) of a forming tool (3) by a first die (5), and the second end (9) is pressed into the mold by a second die (8). Displaced material is forced into a bypass (10) of the mold and formed into a leg (11). The semi-finished part is finished in a forging process. The forging temperature is lower than 520 degrees C, e.g. between 420 degrees C and 480 degrees C. Forging temperature is approx. 520 degrees C.
