Industry Standards	International Organization for Standardization Military Specifications -Mil-Spec -Compliant ISO – Compliant Mil-Spec – Compliant
Production Method	Coining Compound Die Fineblanked The near-zero clearance and exacting tolerances for fineblanking dies can produce a high quality, net-shape, part—when the dies are relatively new. However, over time the dies wear. This often results in metal pull-down, creating an extruded edge on features of the part. It is the malleable metals that create the undesirable burr.
