ABSTRACT:
A process and associated apparatus are provided for producing cold flow formed items from slugs. First and second dies are aligned for relative movement axially towards and away from one another. The dies have respective opposed first and second faces and the first face defines a cavity having portions including generally axial walls. The first die has a peripheral chamfer extending axially away from the first face and a sleeve is provided containing the dies to combine with outer parts of the second face and the peripheral chamfer to define an annular space. The slug is formed into the item by causing relative movement between the dies to impact the slug and then causing further relative movement so that the slug is caused to flow into contact with the axial walls and also into the annular space so that destructive forces applied to the axial walls are countered by forces applied to the chamfer thereby stabilizing the material of the first die between the axial walls and the chamfer. A slug for use with the die set is also provided.
