Abstract
In a method for the treatment of metallic materials especially for the consolidation of the texture of the materials, a blank of the metallic material is heated to a transformation temperature and the blank is then subjected to twisting preferably while, at the same time, being compressed. In this way, the texture can be refined to a large degree in a simple and inexpensive manner.
Claims20
A method for the consolidation of the texture of metallic materials, consisting of the steps of:
- a) providing a blank of a metallic material,
- b) heating said blank to a transformation temperature, and
- c) deforming said blank by twisting said blank about a longitudinal axis thereof and, at the same time, compressing said blank in the direction of said longitudinal axis,
- where said steps (a) to (c) are carried out by substantially maintaining the form of the blank.
