<p>[QUOTE="Danomite, post: 5011411, member: 109452"]Ok, I believe a flat strike is a weak strike? Best I can glean from what I’ve researched (other than error reference definition), please correct me if I’m wrong. A debris (greaser) strike is usually weak and dull in the affected areas. The rims tend to be sharp with no taper (or almost nonexistent) of the upset planchet, fields or other unaffected areas should have luster due to the increased displaced volume. A debris filled strike tends to affect the outer devices but so does a weak strike (which may have less luster in the unaffected areas), of course that’s not all inclusive on either. A weak strike can have the characteristics of an upset planchet that hasn’t been struck out. A weak strike may not strike out any planchet flaws, but a debris filled die may add some marks depending on the debris composition. So I’m still confused. Taper on the rim (gut feeling only) says weak strike. If I’m wrong on any of this, please (anyone) correct me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
