Mold fabrication is a crucial upstream process enabling efficient mass production of intricate cast metal components through die casting. As a renowned mold manufacturing specialist, Junying offers comprehensive mold making solutions tailored to clients' die casting needs. This article explores the methodology, advantages, applications and Junying's expertise in delivering high-quality molds.
Die Casting Mold Design and Materials
An ideal mold consists of movable and stationary steel blocks machined to precise cavity and core details. Design aspects encompass draft angles, ejector placements, feedings and vents to facilitate part extraction and molten metal flow.
Commonly used mold steel grades at Junying include H13, D2 and P20 that amalgamate attributes like hardness, wear-resistance and polishability for operational longevity. Premium grades like AISI H11 and H13MoCo improve mold life further for high-volume production.
Mold Manufacturing Process
Key activities involve computer-aided design of cavities and cores, precision CNC milling/turning, electrical discharge machining of complex shapes, surface grinding and polishing.
For complex molds, modular mold designs enable economical repairs. Stress-relieving heat treatments prevent cracking during cyclic loading. Guide bushings aid free sliding motion minimizing parting line marks.
