Method for improving the release and finish characteristics of metal stamping dies

James L. Reed
TLDR
A method for improving the release and finish characteristics of metal stamping dies includes shot peening the interior die cavity walls with substantially spherical shot having a hardness value at least equal to the hardness value of the die cavity wall.
Abstract
A method for improving the release and finish characteristics of metal stamping dies includes shot peening the interior die cavity walls with substantially spherical shot having a hardness value at least equal to the hardness value of the die cavity walls Optimizing the parameters of the peening process, such as the Almen intensity and the shot type, size, hardness and uniformity, maximizes the improvement to the release and finish characteristics of the die Optionally, the initial shot peening is followed by a second shot peening with substantially spherical glass beads Metal stamping dies shot peened in accordance with the present method exhibit substantial improvement in their release and finish characteristics over unpeened dies

Game ball mold preparation technique and coating system

TL;DR: In this article, a dual region coating system for a game ball mold and a coating application method was described, which is particularly useful for making golf ball cores containing zinc-diacrylate and/or zinc dimethacrylate, as these materials tend to adhere to the walls of a mold cavity.

Method of reducing fuel consumption by peening

TL;DR: In this article, a method of reducing fuel and oil consumption in an internal combustion engine is proposed, in which the cylinder walls of the engine are peened with glass spheres having a diameter within the range of form about 0.002 inches to about 1.004 inches.
Patent

Process of compression stressing metals to increase the fatigue strength thereof

TL;DR: In this paper, a process of compression stressing metals to increase the fatigue strength or resistance to brittle fractures thereof by shot peening or surface rolling is described, where the elastic radial tensile stress of the metal is maintained at a safe low value at the time when subsurface yield incident to initial compression stressing occurs.
