Abstract

Progressive step and compound dies are employed in a cold working process to form a metallic preform of selected mass into a precision-finished, pore-free, annular bushing with a mass substantially equal to that of the preform for use as a battery terminal which allows the fracture free spin over connection of the stem of the bushing to a battery cover and the close fit of the bushing on the battery post when the cover is fitted to the battery casing.
