Method for producing a steel part comprising providing a semi-finished product made of a steel comprising, by weight: 0.35%≤C≤0.60%; 0.15%≤Si≤0.5%; 0.8%≤Mn≤2.0%; 0.0003%≤B≤0.01%; 0.003%≤Mo≤1.0%; 1.0%≤Cr≤2.0%; 0.01%≤Ti≤0.04%; 0.003%≤N≤0.01%; S≤0.015%; P≤0.015%; 0.01%≤Ni≤1.0%; 0.01%≤Nb≤0.1%; optionally 0≤Al≤0.1%; 0≤V≤0.5%; and the remainder consisting of iron and unavoidable impurities. The method further including annealing this semi-finished product at a temperature strictly lower than the Ac1 temperature of the steel; cold forming the semi-finished product into a cold formed product; subjecting the cold formed product to a heat treatment comprising heating the cold formed product to a temperature greater than or equal to the Ac3 temperature of the steel; and holding the product at a holding temperature comprised between 300° C. and 400° C. for a time comprised between 15 minutes and 2 hours.

A multistage press for the bulk deformation of a piece of wire includes a wire feed with associated apparatus for cutting to length, and a transfer device—having grippers—for receiving a piece of wire that has been cut to length and transferring the latter to subsequent forming stages, there being arranged, on that side of the cutting-to-length apparatus opposite from the wire feed, a device for partially heating a length of wire. A method produces a formed part with a multistage press of this type.

A cold formed anchor for use in an insulated cavity wall includes a unitary body formed with a driver portion and having large and small diameter portions. The driver portion may be formed with structure for connecting a veneer tie to the anchor. A method of making the cold formed anchor includes cold forming a driver portion and a reduced diameter portion from a blank.

A die matching system which is preferably implemented in die rolling machinery for fasteners employs witness or reference marks on each of the dies. An eddy current sensor is employed to sense the witness marks and to detect change in the relative position of the witness mark and hence the position of the rotatable dies. The change in position is then processed and a signal is transmitted to servo motors to change the relative position of the dies to compensate for the position changes continuously during the operation of the die rolling machinery. In one preferred form, the witness mark is in the form of a recess milled into the bottom end surface of the cylindrical die.

A pull or push rod for a molding machine having a groove. The groove is suitable for forming a positive-locking connection with a locking nut, by which positive-locking connection forces are transmittable between the locking nut and the pull or push rod. The groove has a groove cross-section, has at least two groove flanks, and has a groove base. The at least two groove flanks, viewed in the groove cross-section, each transition with at least one transition curvature into the groove base. The groove base in the groove cross-section is at least partially formed as a curvature, and the curvature of the groove base differs from the transition curvatures of the groove flanks.
