How Threads Are Formed
As the face of a thread die is forced against a rotating stock, the crest of the threads on the roll die begin to compress the work material. These initial points of contact will become the base or root of the rolled thread. As material is displaced by the penetration it is forced upward and outward from the side of the die thread flank, thus forming the crest of the roll thread on the blank. The nature of this
flow of material must be taken into consideration.
