Im Dave Corbin, and for more than 20 years, Ive been helping people make the state-of-the art bullets you read about in articles and magazine ads. Nearly every custom bullet maker in the world started with equipment developed at the Corbin die-works. Yet, it seems that only yesterday my brother, Richard, and I were debating whether there was any possibility that someone could use our equipment to make a respectable living, producing custom bullets. All you have to do is scan the pages of nearly any magazine catering to handloaders, and youll see that the pages are full of ads from our clients; the articles are constantly talking about the bullets our clients make, and the major ammunition firms are buying the bullets made on Corbin equipment for use in major name brands of ammunition (the premium offerings, of course). Corbin Manufacturing publishes a book called the World Directory of Custom Bullet Makers listing hundreds of individu- als and firms whose names you will recognize if you like to read gun magazines. When I read the list, I remember peoples enthu- siasm for the new bullets that we were able to design tooling to make, and figure out a good way to market, thanks to the power of bullet swaging. Olympians and world champions in every field of firearms sports, from benchrest to air gun competition, using everything from paper-patched muzzle loaders to custom fin-stabilized shot- gun slugs, have come to the die-works where my brother and I have toiled for the last quarter century, some just to improve their already-outstanding achievements, and some to help others become better shooters by manufacturing their own best ideas in how a given bullet should look and be constructed. Engineers from the Department of the Army, Air Force Ar- mament Labs, Sandia National Laboratories, DuPont, Northrop, and other defense-related organization have visited us over those years. Tools and designs we worked on are in use today all over the world, wherever a long range, high precision projectile or a very special purpose bullet, that could only be made efficiently by the high precision techniques of swaging, is needed for the job. 5 Whether it is protecting a President at long range or picking a pine cone from the top of an experimental tree, whether it is surveying a dense mountain jungle with remotely launched flare projectiles designed for vertical firing stability, or stitching mir- ror-based bullets in an arctic ice sheet from a low-flying aircraft so a laser beam can measure the depth and estimate the strength of the ice to hold a transport plane, or whether it is the grim responsibility of instantly stopping a drug-crazed terrorist before he can take the life of another hostageregardless of the pur- pose, we sat through many meetings pouring over blueprints, computer readouts, and sketches on the backs of dinner napkins, helping design projectiles for visitors from the far corners of the earth. Yet, this work is only the continuation of development begun by other pioneers of bullet swaging: people like Ted Smith, who founded the old SAS Dies in the 1950s; Harvey Donaldson, who experimented with some of the first dies to make .224 bullets from fired .22 cases; Walt Astles and Ray Biehler, who developed the principle of upward expansion and the two-die swage tech- nique (as opposed to the RCBS single-die take-apart system); Charlie Heckman, a pioneer swage maker; and so many others whose names probably are unknown to modern shooters, but to whom all shooters owe a debt for their contributions to the perfection of bullets. You may know that the RCBS company (initials of which mean Rock Chuck Bullet Swage) got started making bullet swag- ing equipment, but soon dropped it in favor of much more easily produced reloading dies. You may even have heard Speer Bullets was started by Vernon Speer swaging .224 caliber bullets from fired .22 LR cases. But bullet swaging played a much larger part in leading to the products and companies you use today than just that: Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, Barnes, and a host of other mass production op- erations owe their very existence to the concept of bullet swaging. Today, more than three hundred and fifty custom bullet firms operated by people who probably differ from yourself only in hav- ing taken the step of putting their intense interest in firearms to work at a profitable and enjoyable occupationmake a full-time living by producing specialty bullets. So, what is bullet swaging and how do you do it? What do you need to get started? How much does it cost? What are the advantages and drawbacks compared to casting or just buying 6 factory bullets? Can you swage hard lead, make partitioned bul- lets, make your own jackets, make plain lead bullets or paper patched slugs? I answer those questions a thousand times a week and I never get tired of it. But to save you a lot of time on the phone, Ive written those answers here. If you read through this book and think I have left something out, you are absolutely right: I left out about six more books of information! Those are available if you care to read further. Swaging is so simple you can do it correctly after just a couple of tries. Then youll see its also extremely versatile and powerful: you can do one more thing, and then one more after that, and soon, you will have the whole top of your loading bench covered with one-of-a-kind bullets, some of which no one in the world has ever made before. And thats why it takes at least six more books to make a dent in the vast array of things you might do, could do, if you wished. Only your imagination limits the possi- bilities. A deeper study of the specifics of bullet swaging technique and tooling, including products made by people other than Corbin, can be found in the book Re-Discover Swaging, so named be- cause swaging was, in fact, discovered once before and then al- most lost: during the period of 1948-1963 there were many die- makers who produced swaging equipment, but none of them of- fered a comprehensive enough range of products to insure their own survival, or that of the swaging arts. Corbin Manufacturing was the first comprehensive effort to preserve and further the technology with information, supplies and tools from one source. Bullet swaging, by the way, is pronounced SWAY-JING and rhymes with paging. There is a blacksmith technique for pound- ing hot metal around a form that is called swedging but it is a different sort of thing altogether. If you want to really dig into the subject and learn things most peopleincluding most gun writers, unfortunatelynever find out, then order the Book Package. You get another copy of this book free, with it. Give this copy to a friend. Who knows: maybe between the two of you, a new bullet making business may develop that rivals the fame of some of our other clients? It could happen: it has happened over 350 times so far! 7 2. Principles of Bullet Swaging When we say bullet, the projectile or part of the cartridge that is propelled through the air is indicated. The news media in the United States often refers to a bullet as the entire cartridge with powder, primer, bullet and case. Bullet swaging has nothing to do with the rest of the cartridge, but concentrates on the part that flies to the target. In some countries, notably England, shoot- ers refer to the bullet as the head or the bullet head and call the entire cartridge a bullet. There is a good reason not to call the cartridge a bullet, as the general news media seems inclined to do. The bullet is inert metal without any explosive or propellant involved, which means that it should be treated as a precise metal product, not some danger- ous, risk-laden component subject to transportation restrictions and tariffs. Finding a bullet in the possession of an airline traveller should be no more cause for alarm than finding a coin. Unfortu- nately, through ignorance and imprecise language, the term bul- let causes problems where it should not.

  • Modification in Forming Die to Overcome Manufacturing Process
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 7, July-2020 ISSN 2229-5518 41 Modification in Forming Die to Overcome Manufacturing Process Limitation Prof.B.R.Chaudhari[1], PrathmeshKulkarni[2], Tejas Potdar[3], Omkar Pawar[4], Akhilesh Nikam[5] Abstract—Forming of sheet metal is common and vital process in manufacturing industry. Sheet metal forming is the plastic deformation of the work over an axis, creating a change in the parts geometry. Generally, there are two parts used in forming process; one of the part is punch which performs the stretching, bending and blanking operation and another is Die block which secularly clamps the workpiece and same operation as punch. Forming processes are particular manufacturing processes which make use of suitable stresses like compression, tension, shear, combined stresses which causes plastic deformation of the material to produce required shapes. During Forming process, no material is removed i.e. they are deformed and displaced. Some examples of forming processes are Forging, Sheet metal working, thread rolling, Electromagnetic forming, Explosive forming, rotary swaging, etc. Here the problem statement of the project is to combine these two parts design in one forming die which is now manufacturing separately on two different forming dies.

  • Ats 34 and 154 Cm Stainless Heat Treat Procedure
    ATS 34 AND 154 CM STAINLESS HEAT TREAT PROCEDURE This is an oil hardening grade of steel which will require oil quenching. The oil should be a warm, thin quenching oil that contains a safe flash point. Olive oil has been used as a sub­ stitute. As a rule of thumb, there should be a gallon of oil for each pound of steel. For , warming the oil before quenching, you may heat a piece of steel and drop it in the oil. 1.) Wrap blades in stainless tool wrap and leave an extra two inches on each end of the package. (This will be for handling purposes going into the quench as described below.) We suggest a double wrap for this grade. The edges of the foil should be double crimped, being careful to avoid hav­ ing even a pin hole in the wrap. 2 . ) Place in the furnace and heat to 1900"F. After reaching this temperature, immediately start timing the soak time of 25-30 minutes. 3.) After the soak time has elapsed, very quickly and carefully pull the package out with tongs~ place over the quench tank and snip the end of the package allowing the blades to drop into the oil. You should have a wire basket in the quench tank for raising and lowering the blades rather than have them lie s till. Gases are released in the quench and would form a "trap" around the steel unless you keep them movi~g for a minute or so. *IMPORTANT--It is very important that the blades enter the oil quench as quickly as possible after leaving the furnace ! Full hardness would not be reached if this step is not followed.

  • A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting
    A Comparison of Thixocasting and Rheocasting Stephen P. Midson The Midson Group, Inc. Denver, Colorado USA Andrew Jackson Arthur Jackson & Co., Ltd. Brighouse UK Abstract The first semi-solid casting process to be commercialized was thixocasting, where a pre-cast billet is re-heated to the semi-solid solid casting temperature. Advantages of thixocasting include the production of high quality components, while the main disadvantage is the higher cost associated with the production of the pre-cast billets. Commercial pressures have driven casters to examine a different approach to semi-solid casting, where the semi-solid slurry is generated directly from the liquid adjacent to a die casting machine. These processes are collectively referred to as rheocasting, and there are currently at least 15 rheocasting processes either in commercial production or under development around the world. This paper will describe technical aspects of both thixocasting and rheocasting, comparing the procedures used to generate the globular, semi-solid slurry. Two rheocasting processes will be examined in detail, one involved in the production of high integrity properties, while the other is focusing on reducing the porosity content of conventional die castings. Key Words Semi-solid casting, thixocasting, rheocasting, aluminum alloys 22 / 1 Introduction Semi-solid casting is a modified die casting process that reduces or eliminates the porosity present in most die castings [1] . Rather than using liquid metal as the feed material, semi-solid processing uses a higher viscosity feed material that is partially solid and partially liquid. The high viscosity of the semi-solid metal, along with the use of controlled die filling conditions, ensures that the semi-solid metal fills the die in a non-turbulent manner so that harmful gas porosity can be essentially eliminated.

This is typically done in power systems by twisting or weaving the wires, following one of several patterns. Though, at radio frequencies, wire dimensions must scale down by as much as 1000 times in order to achieve the same effects. This project decomposes the problem into two main categories; the manufacturing of micron scale wires and the manipulation of these wires in order to form a twisted bundle.

  • Conventional Deep Drawing Vs Incremental Deep Drawing
    MED, JNTUH August 2018 CONVENTIONAL DEEP DRAWING VS INCREMENTAL DEEP DRAWING A. Chennakesava Reddy Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering JNTUH College of Engineering, Hyderabad 1. Conventional Deep Drawing Process: Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch. It is thus a shape transformation process with material retention. The process is considered "deep" drawing when the depth of the drawn part exceeds its diameter. This is achieved by redrawing the part through a series of dies. The flange region (sheet metal in the die shoulder area) experiences a radial drawing stress and a tangential compressive stress due to the material retention property. These compressive stresses (hoop stresses) result in flange wrinkles (wrinkles of the first order). Wrinkles can be prevented by using a blank holder, the function of which is to facilitate controlled material flow into the die radius. Figure 1: Example of deep drawn part. Figure 2: Conventional deep drawing process. The total drawing load consists of the ideal forming load and an additional component to compensate for friction in the contacting areas of the flange region and bending forces as well as unbending forces at the die radius. The forming load is transferred from the punch radius through the drawn part wall into the deformation region (sheet metal flange). In the drawn part wall, which is in contact with the punch, the hoop strain is zero whereby the plane strain condition is reached. In reality, mostly the strain condition is only approximately plane.

Whether extrusion or injection molding is being used, there are certain factors that should be considered before a thermoplastics material is processed. These factors include the hygroscopic behavior of the material (whether it picks up water), the granule characteristics, the ther- mal properties (such as heat transfer and the thermal stability), the flow properties, crystallization behavior, shrinkage, and molecular orientation. Hygroscopic Behavior. If a polymer compound contains water, or another material with a low boiling point, then the heat needed for processing can raise its temperature above the boiling point. Visible bubbles will then form within the thermoplastic material when the pressure falls, such as when it emerges from the die of an extruder. Generally speaking, the higher the processing temperatures, the lower is the amount of water that can be tolerated. This is because the higher temperatures will generate a larger volume of steam from the same quantity of water. Usually commodity thermoplastics do not suffer from water-related problems to the same extent as the engineering thermoplastics. Some of these materials, for example PET and Nylon absorb water i.e. they are hygroscopic and must be carefully dried before processing.
