The advantages provided by the PAFF process are achieved by the accelerated flow
of the peripheral layers of the metal of the blank. This flow of metal is created by the
accelerated movement of the container in relation to the press stamp. As a result of the
resulting active action of friction forces, an accelerated peripheral flow of metal (APM)
between the container and the blank appears, but the amount of friction depends on
numerous factors (especially on the ratio of heating temperatures of the blank to the
container) and can vary widely. Numerous model studies carried out by QForm
confirmed that under certain technology modes even a slip-through occurs between the
container and the blank. This leads to a decrease in the volume of the peripheral metal
flow and additional wear of the container.
In order to increase the power of APM and to reduce its dependence on the
parameters of the compression process, a new design of the working container was
developed - a container with «cest», given in Figure 2. [4] «Cest» is executed on the
container or at the expense of other devices, an element with a ledge must move with the
container during the compression process. Said device generates an intensive additional
peripheral flow of metal which overtakes the central flow created by the solid part of the
pressing. Such a compression scheme depends to a much lesser extent on the conditions
of interaction of the container with the blank and, therefore, on the extent of realization
of the active action of friction forces.

preparation
Analysis of the results of the simulation showed that the proposed «ledge»
compression scheme makes it possible to increase the volume of the peripheral flow of
the metal due to the involvement of layers located at a considerable distance from the
surface of the container. In this way it is possible to manage the extrusion process more
flexibly. The results of these studies and the experience gained from the successful
operation of the P8546 gauge press formed the basis of the technical assignment for the
development of the pipe press. A successful system with «rigid» hydraulic connection of
