Merriam-Webster defines “nomenclature” as the devising or choosing of names for things, especially in a science or other discipline. In essence these are terms that we use to communicate technical ideas or principles to one another, but are we all talking about the same thing? Accepted nomenclature often tends to be regional. For example, a bonnet in the United States may be viewed as a variety of headpieces sometimes worn by women.

Dividing the 600-ton capacity rating by the 80-in. minimum die length results in 7.5 tons/in. This value serves as a good approximation for determining press capacity for dies in this press that measure less than 80 in. long. The die length in this example: 30 in. Multiplying 30 in. by 7.5 tons/in. equals 225 tons—the maximum load that can be applied to a 30-in.-long die. However, the die in our example requires 285 tons, which exceeds the press capacity.

In conducting research to compose the MetalForming Tool & Die ebook (to be distributed this month), I had the pleasure of speaking and corresponding with several tool- and diemakers … and often, their management. In one chapter of the ebook, “Faces of Toolmakers,” we feature actual, standout tool- and diemakers and see them at work. I had the opportunity to read the nominations submitted for that chapter. Clearly, the diemakers are held in high regard for the many contributions they make.
