Abstract (en)

A device and a method for elliptically processing a metal tube capable of flattening the metal tube without producing a recessed part by only two press molds such as a cope and a drag or by using these two press molds as major technical elements. Two press molds for flattening by pressurizing a metal tube (1) having a circular vertical section to the tube center axis are a cope and a drag (10, 13) having pressuring molds (12, 15). The surfaces (12A, 15A) of the pressuring molds (12, 15) facing the metal tube (1) are formed from curved recessed surfaces or a combination of a plurality of flat surfaces, and a first pressuring part for pressurizing first parts (1A, 1B) which are portions on the metal tube (1) surface, and a second pressuring part for pressurizing second parts (1C, 1D) on the metal tube (1) surface on both sides of the metal tube 1 in the circumferential direction with respect to the first parts (1A, 1B) exist on the surfaces (12A, 15A). The first pressuring part pressuring part pressurizes the first parts (1A, 1B) with pressuring force (F 1 ) toward the center of the metal tube (1), and the second pressuring part pressurizes the second parts (1C, 1D) with pressuring force (F 2 ) having a pressuring component (F 2H ) toward the first parts (1A, 1B).
