An apparatus for forming a base profile on a metal container carried on a punch moving along an axis. The apparatus comprises a die for forming the base profile on the container and a resilient support for holding the die in a resting position substantially along said axis whilst allowing the die to be deflectable perpendicular to said axis and providing a restoring force to return the die to the resting position.

A method for forming a deep draw closure cap includes draw forming a first cup from a planar sheet of a metal material defining a base thickness. The first cup comprises a first cup base, a first cup wall, and an open end. A first redrawing of the first cup is performed to form a first redrawn cup including a first redrawn cup base, a first redrawn cup wall, and an open end. The first redrawn cup is passed through an ironing die to reduce a thickness of the first redrawn cup wall adjacent to the open end.

A unitary forward mounting assembly for a bodymaker includes a unitary forward mounting body with a cradle portion, a first support arm portion and a second support arm portion. The cradle portion has a forward side, a rear side, a right side, and a left side. The first support arm portion is disposed at the cradle portion right side. The second support arm portion is disposed at the cradle portion left side.

Redraw tooling includes a punch tool, a punch ring that is retractable relative to the punch tool, a punch sleeve, and a spring or resilient material that urges the punch ring forward. Retracting the punch ring provides support for the redraw chine to diminish wrinkling.

[Object]

A pressing die and a press working method that can achieve both facilitation of management of an appropriate clearance and working durability at a high level are provided.

[Solving Means]

The pressing die of the present invention is a pressing die for press working a metal material using a punch part and a die part. A working surface of one of the punch part and the die part is coated with a diamond film the working surface contacting with the metal material. A working surface of the other one of the punch part and the die part is coated with a surface treatment film having a Vickers hardness of 8000 Hv or less the working surface contacting with the metal material.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a complex-formed component by using austenitic steels in a multi-stage process where cold forming and heating are alternated for at least two multi-stage process steps. The material during every process step and a component produced has an austenitic microstructure with non-magnetic reversible properties.
