German term or phrase: Bartbildung

This is a description of tent stakes or pegs in a Roman military camp.

Ein wenig unter dem oberen Ende des kontinuierlich stärker werdenden Schafts befindet sich eine zentrale Lochung, in die ein frei beweglicher Ring eingehängt ist. Die Lochung führt oft zu einer seitlichen Auswölbung des Schafts der dann wieder etwas einzieht und zu einer Schlagfläche ausgearbeitet ist; häufig ist dort eine **Bartbildung** durch die Schlagbeanspruchung zu beobachten.

My draft of the sentence with the queried word:

"The hole often leads to a lateral bulge in the shaft, which then curves back in again slightly and is wrought into a striking surface; often a beard-image [??] can be observed upon the stress of impact."

What I have learned is that a "beard" is a part of an ax (Wikipedia: Ax), but this isn't an ax, and that may be irrelevant.

Secondly, there is a meaning for "Bart" that is "burr," as in uneven metal:

Third, here is a link that has the term Bartbildung, with a to-me-not-very-informative sketch:

Any help would be appreciated!

mushrooming

Explanation:
Is what we'd call it in the US.

Bartbildung am Meißelkopf entfernen. (abschleifen) und Meißelkopf rundschleifen, um Verletzungen durch Absplittern des Bartes zu vermeiden.

He told the story of someone he knew who almost lost an eye because of a piece of metal flying off the butt of a mushroomed chisel, and rightly chided us for not having it ground down. So we went out and dug through Leigh's tool box and brought back the culprit to show on air how to "dress" a chisel to keep it safe.

Plastic Tent Stakes
CON'S:
I'd avoid these if possible, they snap easily in cool to cold weather, mangle easily when they bump into rocks, the head mushrooms easily when it's driven with a metal hammer or rock, and plastic stakes are usually bigger so they take up more room.

burr formation

Explanation:
This is in English a "burr formation" on a tool which is been hit by a tool eg. hammer.Then a burr occurs on the head of the tool which has been hit.
We can also say this is a mushroom form on the tool.
I hope this is helpful.
