Abstract
Combining the wellknown manufacturing process flow-drilling and rotary-swag ing a novel forming process has been developed closing the ends of copper t ubes. Using this so-called flow-closing process ball - like closures up to pressures of 60 bar can be produced if process control and tool design will be optimized.
