Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 9:55 pm Quote: " Retained Cud" more accurately describes what is happening with the die. If the crack is not rim to rim yet, and shows no vertical displacement, nor horizontal offset, how is it a Retained Cud? I see lateral spread that's expected like with most die cracks. Without lateral spread you'd see no crack at all. I'm thinking a pre-cud is still attached to the die. A Retained Cud is not, A Retained Cud is basically free floating unattached or completely separated from the die. Severe breaks can split the die into. Internal die breaks are another story. I'm not going to rewrite the book tonight. Thanks, Doug. http://www.error-ref.com/die_crack_...__pre-cud__/ http://www.error-ref.com/?s=Retaine...ontal+offset Edited by Halo1st 02/26/2019 10:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 10:01 pm They both mean the same thing. Retained may give the idea that the area is held in place by the collar. But the die breaks lower and the area in question is able to move during the strike. Eventually it will fall off the die leaving an area called a Cud. A big enough crack through the die will leave a split die. Report this Post to the Staff
