Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting / Finishing operations | | French term or phrase: détoilé par poinçonnage | At least, I think it's "détoilé" as it's in capitals (DETOILE PAR POINCONNAGE).
This is a line in a "finishing specification" in table form which is part of a tender package for die-cast clutch housings.
I am wondering whether "détoilé" is not a synonym for "ébavuré" as I can see why one would want to remove the flashes ("bavures"), but not the web ("toile").
Anyone come across this term in this context? |

David Goward: 9:22am Oct 18, 2007: You've got it! - The "spec" is a table with lots of codes relating to parts of a drawing and an "observations" column in which "DETOILE PAR POINCONNAGE" appears several times.

| | trimming by punching / stamping | Explanation:
dixit my husband who is in the business - a toile is a 'thin thickness' / sheet of metal, so I'd say this is more like sheet removal by punching not just the deburring.
low confidence 'cos though I think I can visualise what it is I don't know if this is the right way to say it. |

Haven't been able to determine exactly what "degating" is, but it's related:
Automated trim presses to DEFLASH and DEGATE castings. ...

After casting, a die trimming operation cuts the GATES off and removes flash from the bolt holes ... Automated trim presses to deflash and DEGATE castings. ...

GATE (ingate) The portion of the runner where the molten metal enters the mold cavity.
Runner system or GATING The set of channels in a mold through which molten metal is poured to fill the mold cavity. The system normally consists of a vertical section (downgate or SPRUE) to the point where it joins the mold cavity (gate) and leads from the mold cavity through vertical channels (risers or feeders) (Fig. 3).

Ah-ha! Sprue is the word I knew.
Not familiar with "toile", but note the resemblance with "web" below:
Flash. A thin WEB or fin of metal on a casting which occurs at die parting, air vents, and around movable cores. This excess metal is due to the necessary working and operating clearances in a die.
Trim. To remove the FLASH, OVERFLOWS, AND RUNNERS from a die casting.

Asker: Gate is "attaque de coulée" in this spec. although I also have "départ de fonderie". I'll ask that as a separate question.
