ABSTRACT:
A method of forming an article such as a helical gear and an apparatus for forming the article are provided. The method includes applying pulsating pressure downward to extruding the work piece and, while the pressure is applied downward, injecting fluid to surround the work piece in fluid. The method eliminates pickling processes and phosphate lube coatings typically required for extrusion and external machining steps subsequently required to remove the coating. Extrusion of a cold net-formed article is thus possible due. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also provided.
