  • Method for forming a countersink in a plate
    Patent number: 4713960
    Abstract: A method of forming a countersink around a hole in a metal plate. A stepped punch is pressed, stem first into the hole, with such a force and at such a rate as to cause deformation but not shearing of the metal, there being an annular ring of unrestrained surface around the hole at the backside of the plate. The resulting countersink has cold-worked surfaces, and a raised ring is formed on the backside of the plate.
