Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé de renversement permettant d'éliminer une étape de correction en prévenant la survenance d'une distorsion de trempe. Ledit procédé consiste à préparer un appareil de renversement (10) équipé: d'une filière de mise en forme (11) d'un guide (20) présentant un trou d'insertion (21) servant à fixer la partie (2) devant s'élargir en diamètre du matériau brut en barre (1) dans un état empêchant le flambage, et un poinçon. Ladite partie (2) à l'état chauffé est placée dans le trou d'insertion (21) du guide (20) et placée dans la cavité (12) de la filière (11) dont la température est régulée pour être inférieure celle du matériau brut (1) fixé à la partie de fixation (13) de la filière (11). Dans cet état on déplace le guide dans le sens opposé à la direction (37) du mouvement du poinçon (30), tout en comprimant axialement dans la cavité (12) la partie (2) devant s'élargir en diamètre du matériau brut (1) exposée entre l'extrémité du guide (20) et la partie de fixation (13) de la filière (11).
