A stamped steel detectable warning tile and method of forming such includes preforming structures in the tile and subsequently coining the structures to form tactile portions to provide satisfactory end results. Further, the tactile portions can be formed in a staggered fashion along a press to distribute tonnage and extend the lifespan of the press, as well as control a curvature of the tile due to the press operations.

A gutter cover of color-coated expanded metal is disclosed. Openings in a center section of the gutter cover are defined by front strands and an opposing rear strands spaced rearward from respective front strands. Forward facing surfaces of the front and rear strands have a first color coating thereon, and rearward facing surfaces of the front and rear strands are free of the first color coating. A method of making the color-coated expanded metal gutter cover is disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for producing a metal stamp for embossing a nano- or microstructure on a metal device (4), comprising the following steps for producing a 3D structured embossing area (3) on the stamp: a) providing a master (30) having a structured surface (30a), and replicating said master (30a) in the surface of a soft stamp (31); b) forming an imprint (32) on the soft stamp (31a) using a cross-linkable material to form an imprint structured surface (32a), before, while or after contacting an opposite side of the imprint (32) with said surface portion of the metal stamp, and removing said soft-stamp (31) exposing said imprint structured surface (32a); c) etch-opening said surface (32a) using a first set of etching conditions; d) using a second set of etching conditions, different from the first ones, etching the surface of the metal stamp to form said embossing area (3).

A system and method of making a one-piece expanded metal gutter cover having a solid edge margin is disclosed. The system and method involves feeding a continuous web of solid metal to an expanding station, expanding the continuous web at the expanding station to form an expanded web of material having a screen section of expanded metal and a solid section of non-expanded metal, cutting the continuous web to form a gutter cover blank having screen and solid sections, and slitting the solid section of the gutter cover blank to remove a wavy side edge of the blank and create a substantially straight side edge extending along the blank. A system for carrying out this method is also disclosed.

A stamped steel detectable warning tile and method of forming such is described that includes preforming structures in the tile and subsequently coining the structures to form tactile portions to provide satisfactory end results. Further, the tactile portions can be formed in a staggered fashion along a press to distribute tonnage and extend the lifespan of the press, as well as control a curvature of the tile due to the press operations.

A method for the production of an object comprises the steps of providing a base element, providing a plurality of section bars, and fastening the section bars to one surface of the base element; the method further comprises the steps of defining a plurality of restraint elements, which are active along a vertical axis with respect to the base element, by means of one or more of said section bars, and applying a filling material onto the base element at least in one engagement portion cooperatively defined between the surface and at least one of the restraint elements.
