- This displacement of the partial matrices 44 radially inward is limited by the abutment of the contact sections 50 on the outer wall of the pipe to be expanded and / or by the application of the side surfaces of the submatrices 44 facing one another.
- the partial matrices 44 are supported radially outward on the plane between the guide bevels
- the counter-holder 9 is moved back into the starting position via the driving sections 51 of the partial dies 44, due to the elastic restoring properties of the expanding element 11.
- the sub-matrices 44 are then initially still in their radially inward position, but without radial outer support by the pot wall of the counter-holder 9.
- the pipe end 7 can then be pulled out of the expanding tool 1 in the axial direction in the simplest manner, with displacement the sub-matrices 44 radially outwards, due to the intermediate see widening sections 49 and contact sections 50 formed bevels, which also occur with the widened pipe end 7.
