A die is described, comprising a die body and a steel case, characterized in that: a die body made of a silicon nitride ceramic or a silicon carbide ceramic is shrink fitted or force fitted into a steel case wherein an optional wide recess may be cut in the inner surface of the bottom of said steel case along a corner where the bottom and the inner wall of said steel case meet.

This invention is addressed to a new and improved die for use in extrusion and drawing operations which includes an annular casing, a die nib which is shrunk fit into a central opening in the casing and means exerting a compressive force on the die nib in the axial direction whereby the die nib is subject to both radial and axial compressive stresses.

A die for magnetically forming impressions in a tubular metal workpiece. The die comprises a rigid hollow body having at least one aperture therein for introducing a workpiece and an induction coil and a tubular elastically deformable casing mounting at least one impression in intaglio or in relief. One end of the casing is fixed in said at least one aperture so as to define an annular, hermetically sealed chamber between itself and the inner wall of the hollow body. A conduit is provided for th...

A semiconductor die is provided on a spacer, the die having first and second opposite edges which extend beyond respective first and second opposite edges of the spacer, the first edge of the die extending beyond the first edge of the spacer to a lesser extent than the second edge of the die extends beyond the second edge of the spacer. Furthermore, a first semiconductor die has a plurality of bond pads thereon, a second semiconductor die has a plurality of bond pads thereon, and a substrate has...

A die body includes a die hole for punching a work. A core, including a discharge hole, which is in communication with the die hole, is provided in the die body. The core is provided with a plurality of fluid injection ports through which fluid is injected downward of the discharge hole. The die body is provided with inflow ports through which compressed fluid flows into the fluid injection ports. The core is made of resin. The discharge hole is tapered toward its upper side. An outer peripheral...

An extrusion pelleting apparatus is disclosed wherein the outermost portion of an extrusion orifice is surrounded by a heat reservoir maintained at a temperature significantly higher than the softening temperature range of the polymer being extruded. The high temperature heat reservoir constitutes a heat source from which individual extrusion orifices may be heated above the polymer's softening range to assist in melting frozen plugs of polymer which may block the orifice from time to time. Also...

A coextrusion die for the extrusion of plastics materials in the shape of a tubular film comprising supply means for separately supplying at least two plastics materials to said die, a distribution channel system connected to each supply means, each distribution channel system comprising at least two arched channels provided in different axial planes, the ends of each arched channel being connected to the middle portion of the following arched channel and the distribution channel systems being l...

A hydrostatic extrusion die includes a nose-cone section (21) of a high toughness tool steel and a mating rear section (22) of a high compressive strength material such as carbide. During extrusion, inwardly directed radial forces (F.sub.r ') are developed in the rear section which exactly compensates for the outwardly directed radial forces (F.sub.o) developed at the throat of the die.

An extrusion die having adjacent the die lips a metering roll characterized by an axial ridge limiting a cavity in the roll surface having a different depth at leading and following edges.

An improved pellet mill die is disclosed which has improved production efficiency without a corresponding loss in pellet quality or durability. The die comprises a compression side, a discharge side, and a plurality of die holes extending through the die. The die holes have a countersink on the compression side, and preferably at least a portion of die holes have a relief section to thereby define a working section of the die hole where the pellet is formed, and an effective thickness for the di...
