ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for forming tubing by extrusion of a plastic or metal in an extrusion die over a mandrel supported within the die opening, and immediately after the tubing leaves the die but is still supported by the mandrel, operating thereon to provide a plurality of circular formations in the outer surface of the tubing for improving the physical characteristics of the tubing wall. In one form, the circular formations are provided by means of two or more reciprocating tools which engage and compress the freshly formed tubing against the mandrel, in an intermittent manner so as to form circular corrugations or thread-like formations in the outer stratum of the tube wall while the inside surface of the tube is maintained substantially in the configuration of the mandrel over which it is formed.
