Abstract
A method of producing layered metal components is described which obviates the need for layering the terminals twice. The method includes the steps of providing a strip of base material, layering the base material with layering material, and cutting individual pieces from the strip such that the layering material is wiped across the surface of the base material which would otherwise be exposed by the separation.
Claims12
A method of forming individual layered metal components comprising the steps of:
- providing a strip comprising adjacent metal components form of a base material;
- layering the strip with a layering material;
- and
- separating the individual layered metal components from the strip of adjacent components with a punch that causes a cut surface of the base material to become exposed and which causes the layering material to be wiped across the exposed cut surface.

A method of forming individual layered metal components comprising the steps of:
- providing a strip of adjacent metal components formed of a base material;
- layering the strip with layering material;
- and
- punching the individual components from the strip of adjacent components with a punch and a die wherein at least one of said punch and said die causes a cut surface of the base material to become exposed and causes the layering material to be wiped across the exposed cut surface.
