Smith & Wesson Sees Improvements with Engraved-Roll Marking: Durability, better tool life, and a clearer mark seen in engraved steel roll marks

摘要

Smith & Wesson switched to engraved roll marking dies to replace marking dies made by the EDM process to improve the life of its stamping tools and to ensure that the marks it makes on its weapons are consistent and clear, Marking a component or a part with a steel stamp is basically a cold forging process. The materiel is being moved around or compressed, For a stamp to be durable and effective in producing a clear mark, it must be hard, it must have sharp edges and it must have a smooth surface along the entire relief of the character.
