Injection molds are essential tools for molding parts. The quality of mold manufacturing will directly affect the appearance performance and use requirements of molded parts. The materials required for mold manufacturing are very important. So what factors should be considered when choosing injection mold materials?

Injection mold

1. The working conditions of the mold, the size and impact of the load-bearing capacity during processing, the processing environment and the temperature and corrosion conditions during working.

2. For relatively large molds, it is necessary to choose steel with good hardenability. For molds with less stringent requirements on shape structure and tolerance, general high-carbon tool steel can be used. For molds with complex shapes and high requirements, materials with good hardenability should be used, which can make the mold less prone to cracking and convenient for processing.

3. When the number of processed parts is relatively large, materials with good quality and performance should be selected to manufacture molds. High-quality molds can ensure stability during processing; when the number of parts is small, materials with low performance requirements and relatively affordable prices can be used, which is also much more convenient in processing.

4. Different mold materials have different characteristics. After deformation, resistance, working temperature, and working conditions will also change differently. Therefore, when selecting materials, it is necessary to pay attention to the characteristics of the mold materials.

5. Large and complex molds should use high-quality materials with good performance, because important parts inside the mold will experience certain friction and impact when working. As for other parts that do not require high performance, relatively low-grade materials can be used.
