The matrix is technically the original die, and is copied to produce the master punch (this process is called hobbing). The master punch is then hobbed onto another blank die to produce working dies, which are used in presses to make coins.

DEF

Procédé par lequel le motif à graver sur les pièces est enfoncé sur des cylindres à extrémité en cône pour en faire des coins.

OBS

La matrice est essentiellement le coin original; elle est copiée en vue de la production du poinçon maître (c'est ce qu'on appelle l'enfonçage des coins). Le poinçon maître est ensuite enfoncé dans un autre coin vierge afin de produire des coins de travail qui servent à frapper les pièces.

  • Machine-Tooling (Metallurgy)
CONT

One important application of the vertical milling machine is that of die sinking. Dies used in drop forging and die casting have impressions or cavities cut in them by means of die sinking. The operation of machining a die cavity on a vertical mill is generally done by hand control of the machine, using various end mill type cutters. This is usually followed by considerable filing, scraping, and polishing to produce the highly finished, properly curved, and contoured surfaces required on the die.
