Method for forming long hollow articles from powdered or plasticized masses, comprising forcing a blank through an annular axisymmetric deformation region, drawing out the material, shaping an article and calibrating the same, wherein in the process of shaping the article, the material is submitted to additional deformation processing comprising cyclic drawing up and setting deformations in the axial direction, and in the surfaces enveloping the working surfaces of the die and the mandrel along the entire length of the annular area cyclic setting deformations in the radial direction, as well as cyclic shearing and flexural strains in opposed-sign directions, the shearing strains being performed both in the planes passing through the axis of drawing up and in the planes orthogonal to said axis, the flexural strains being performed in the surfaces enveloping the working surfaces of the die and the mandrel and in the planes passing through the drawing up axis, the number of cycles for the additional deformation processing being equal to or more than one.
