A die is a tool or device which imparts a desired shape, form or finish to a material, or which is used to impress an object or material. Also, a die is the larger of a pair of cutting or shaping tools, which, when moved toward one another, produce a certain form or impression by pressure or by a forceful blow. See RESISTANCE WELDING and FORGE WELDING.
