A method of manufacturing a can body includes: molding a preform of a can including: molding a dome part on a bottom of a bottomed cylindrical body, the dome part being concave into the bottomed cylindrical body; and molding as annular leg part projecting in a direction opposite to a direction in which the dome part is concave, the leg part including an inner peripheral section which is inclined from a ground point of the leg part toward a can axis in a vertical cross-sectional view taken along the can axis; painting at least one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the preform of the can; and bottom reforming to mold a molded can including a curved end around the dome part by pressing an inner surface of the dome part of the preform of the can painted by the painting.

A method of manufacturing a container made of metal, including a bottom portion and a body portion, being open on an upper face side, and having a shape in which the body portion expands outward toward the upper face side. The method includes a stretch forming step of expanding a diameter of a stepped cup body made of metal by operating a diameter expanding punch having a tapered pressing portion that is smaller in diameter than an inner diameter of the large-diameter cylindrical portion and larger in diameter than an inner diameter of the small-diameter cylindrical portion of the stepped cup body along a cylindrical axis direction from an opening side of the large-diameter cylindrical portion, in which the stretch forming step is performed at least once.

This application describes the creation of a wheel disc for a trailer using a three-hit manufacturing process.

In reforming a can bottom part, the defect of black discoloration in an associated formed portion is suppressed. A forming device for a can body, in which a cylindrical barrel part and a can bottom part are integrally formed, includes a tool used for the can body having a concave dome part in a center of the can bottom part and having an annular leg part on a periphery of the dome part to reform a shape of the leg part. The tool includes a pressing body that is inserted into the can body, and that abuts on an inner surface of the dome part, and a forming die that forms a curved end part heading inward on a lower end part of the leg part.

Methods and apparatus for forming a metallic dome are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to a metallic dome that may be used to seal an aerosol container. The metallic dome includes a novel flattened relief panel and an inwardly oriented arch configured to deform in response to pressure within the aerosol container exceeding a predetermined amount. In one embodiment, the flattened relief panel is substantially planar. Optionally, the metallic dome includes at least a first inwardly oriented arch with a first radius of curvature and a second inwardly oriented arch with a second radius of curvature.

A press forming method for controlling a shape change of a press formed part over time after the press formed part springs back at a moment of a release from a press-forming die includes: a press forming step of press forming a metal sheet into the press formed part by using the press-forming die; a die releasing step of releasing the press formed part, which is press-formed, from the press-forming die; and a post-release die holding step of holding the released press formed part in a forming bottom dead center shape for 30 minutes or more by using the press-forming die.

A bottom forming system for a metal container includes a domer assembly that forms a double dome in a bottom of the metal container during a bottom forming process. The domer assembly includes a first domer and a second domer that is movable relative to the first domer. A method of forming a bottom of a metal container includes forming a first dome profile in the bottom of the metal container using the first domer and the second domer of a domer assembly. The method includes forming a second dome profile in the bottom of the metal container by moving the second domer relative to the first domer.
