As each plate is added to the stack, a restriking die is driven against the exposed face of the newly added plate to form transverse notches in the plate surface. The plate is thus deformed so that material flows into previously formed notches in a subjacent plate. The displaced material acts as a frictional interlock with the subjacent plate. | |
