What Are the Factors that Affect the Quality of Mold Accessories?

Mold accessories are mainly parts or components installed on the mold. They can be widely used in various plastic molds, stamping molds, automobiles, electrical and aviation manufacturing fields. However, for mold accessories, the better the quality, the longer the life. Therefore, it is a problem that we all pay close attention to to understand the factors that affect the quality of mold accessories. Do you know what factors affect the quality of mold accessories? Hairong Precision introduces you below:

The factors that affect the quality of mold accessories are as follows:
1. Rationality of mold accessory design

Mold accessory designers should first fully understand the user's use requirements and working conditions, and the situation of die-casting force, and then select suitable materials according to the use requirements and working environment, and understand the die-casting performance of the materials. In the design of mold accessories, special attention should be paid to the premise of meeting the use requirements, and the die-casting structure should be as simple as possible. The wall thickness should be appropriately uniform, and the necessary mold slope should be left, otherwise it will cause pits, pores, shrinkage, underpressure, stretch marks, cracks, deformation and other defects on the casting. The requirements for the dimensional accuracy of the casting should be reasonable, otherwise it will bring unnecessary troubles to the mold design, mold processing, process condition formulation and management, and will cause a large number of unqualified products.

2. Mold structure, processing accuracy and mold material

The selection of mold accessories for die casting is closely related to the product quality of die casting, mold design, processing, mold material selection, etc. If the mold structure is unreasonable, it is difficult for mold accessories to make the product qualified no matter what measures are taken from the process. In addition, the mold material, mold processing accuracy, surface roughness, processing marks, small cracks in heat treatment, nitride layer thickness and mold assembly of heat-resistant and wear-resistant mold accessories will affect product quality and mold life.

3. Shrinkage rate of mold accessories

The shrinkage rate of casting materials is generally expressed as an average percentage or a percentage of a certain range of variation. The average shrinkage rate of the material is usually selected. For the design of high-precision die castings and molds of mold accessories, special attention should be paid to the selection of material shrinkage. If necessary, the mold can be tested first, the required data can be obtained in the test mold, and then the production quantity of large molds designed and manufactured can be carried out.

To sum up, these are the factors that affect the quality of mold accessories. In order to better ensure the quality of mold accessories, we try to choose the best structural solution in the design process. The designer of mold accessories must fully consider the technical requirements and structure of the parts, and must meet the processability and feasibility of mold manufacturing.
