A system and method for an improved material flow through an extrusion machine by altering the material properties in a magnetic field are provided. The electromagnetic extrusion system includes a ram that is moved into a chamber containing an extrusion material to force the extrusion material out of an opening defined, at least in part, by a die to create an extrusion with a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the predetermined shape of the opening. An electromagnetic winding of electrically conductive material is embedded within a tool retainer block surrounding the container and is helically wound about the chamber and carries a DC electrical current to generate a magnetic field having a magnetic flux density of at least 2 Tesla within the extrusion material to dissipate dislocation defect structures in the extrusion material being extruded via the magnetoplasticity effect. The magnetic field therefore provides for reduced flow stress on the tooling.

The invention relates to an apparatus for producing a can packaging blank by backward extrusion. The apparatus has a die wall and an extrusion punch, wherein the die has a die base and a die wall having a die wall height HG. The die wall has, in the region thereof adjacent to the die base, at least one protrusion having predetermined width (B), predetermined height (H), predetermined depth (T) and predetermined cross-section, wherein the height (H) of the protrusion equals 95% of the die wall height (HG) at maximum.

Blank of corrosion-resistant steel is coated with coating of water glass with thickness of 20 to 150 m, cured at 15 to 60 C., and heated in an induction furnace to the temperature of 1180 C. to 1260 C. The heated up blank is without cooling by water descaling transferred into an extrusion press and extruded here, while the coating is broken to pieces and largely removed. Drawing in a horizontal drawing press and necking are performed. After forming to the final shape of the cylinder, leftovers of coating are removed by pressure blasting. A corrosion-resistant thin-walled seamless high-pressure cylinder with volume of 5 to 260 litres is manufactured.
