A process is provided for making bulk textured material sheeting. As a continuous supply of flat material sheeting is fed, the sheeting is repeatedly impacted with toothed knives, each knife creating a row of raised and generally pointed structures on the sheeting to texture the sheeting.

A header plate includes slots to receive heat exchange tubes of a heat exchanger. Each slot includes a lip extending in a direction of the tubes. Each slot has straight sides and corners. At least two tabs extend from each lip. One tab is on one side of each lip, and another tab is on an opposite side of each lip. Tabs are absent from the corners of the lip. Each tab is turned out from the lip so that the tabs on the lip act as a lead in for a tube entering the slot. Each slot has two long sides opposite one another. At least one tab is on each long side of the lip.

A method for the production of a reamer, such as a burr for milling a patient's acetabular cavity, including a substantially hemispherical, hollow cutting body with a perforated wall. The method includes a step of forming at least one tooth by stamping the wall, during which an area of the thinned portion of the wall, adjacent to a hole, is pressed between a punch and an anvil.

Provided herein is a method for manufacturing a jet hole plate that can improve ejection stability and head durability. A method for manufacturing a jet hole plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a punching step of pressing a first principal surface of a metal substrate with a punch to form an indentation in the first principal surface, and to form a raised portion in a second principal surface of the metal substrate at a position opposite to the indentation; a first polishing step of removing the raised portion by mechanical polishing to penetrate the metal substrate at the indentation to thereby form a jet hole; and a second polishing step of polishing at least one of the first principal surface and the second principal surface of the metal substrate by chemical polishing, electrolytic polishing, or chemical-mechanical polishing.

A material includes a sheet of metal having a first face and an opposed second face, and a metal grain direction. The first face is textured with a first set of texturing features. Each texturing feature of the first set includes, respectively, a groove cut into the first face and extending along a groove axis, and a barb extending from the groove and away from the first face. The texturing features of the first set are arranged in a plurality of rows, and the groove axes of the texturing features in a given row extend generally parallel to the given row. The rows are generally non-perpendicular to the grain direction.
