A plate-shaped shearing knife is provided made of hard metal for shearing off allotments of liquid glass. The hard metal of the shearing knife has a thermal conductivity of at least 85 W/mK. Next to a V-shaped or circular-shaped cutting region --, there are edge regions on both sides that do not flare out wedge-like, and have an average width b which is in a range of 5% to 30% of the total width of the shearing knife B in this section.

A wear-resistant tool insert for machines used in the manufacture of nails, screws, rivets and similar items from a wire starting material. The tool insert is of divided design in the axial direction of the supplied wire. Thus, during application of the tool insert it can 'flex' in a controlled manner thereby reducing tensile stress in the tool insert, and reducing the possibility of fracture or breakage of the tool insert, when employed in an overload condition with unacceptably large tensile loads.

The invention relates to an extrusion process and an extrusion tool for the production of cylindrical metallic or ceramic blanks having one or more internal twisted longitudinal bores. A plasticized, pulverulent starting material, deformable by means of extrusion, is forced through a space formed by a die and a mandrel. One or more twisted central pins of a rigid material are fastened to the mandrel which ends before the inner space of the die. The central pins form the longitudinal bores in the blank. The positioning of the longitudinal bores is extremely symmetrical within the blank and uniformly achieved in the various individual blanks extruded using the same production batch.
