A characteristic rollover on
sheared edge can be observed.
The new processes deliver fineblanking-tight tolerances, smooth finish, flatness, and
sheared edge quality, lending themselves to a wide variety of parts used in automotive, medical, electronics, and a myriad of other industries.
In turn, certain physical phenomena affect the material's mechanisms of separation in the cutting zone, such as visco-plastic shear or rupture, because the mechanism of the separation process depends on the quality of both the
sheared edge and the product.
Calling them back across the street (away from the tantalizing technology of our age) they can begin to see Dunn's work in a different light as I take the time to explain to them that clay much prefers to slump than to stand straight, solipsistic dimples to taut contours and fat plump lips to
sheared edges in every case where the bottom of a ceramic form meets the top, or the side, or an extension.
Sheared edges are acceptable if they are square, straight, and securely clamped together.
