These three things tend to affect the life of the mold

1.material

The choice of mold material has a great influence on the service life of the mold, according to the data study, improper material selection and heat treatment will lead to early failure of the mold, and aluminum die casting mold belongs to the hot work mold, its manufacturing conditions are relatively poor. Production personnel should control the temperature of aluminum liquid between 650-720 ℃, and preheating. If not preheated, the surface temperature of the mold cavity will rise from room temperature to liquid temperature, and the surface of the cavity will be subjected to large tensile stress. In the process of opening the top of the mold, the cavity surface will also be subjected to a large compressive stress, and after thousands of die casting, cracks and other defects will appear on the surface of the mold.

2. Structure design

Design of aluminum die casting mold, should avoid rounded corners too sharp, cross-section change is too large, because the sharp corners caused by the stress concentration is 10 times the average stress of the mold, may easily lead to early failure of the mold. In addition, the designer should also pay attention to the deformation and cracking of the mold in the subsequent heat treatment. In order to prevent the formation of the above defects, the mold cross-section size should be uniform and symmetrical, blind holes as far as possible to open for through-hole, if necessary, can open the process hole. In the mold structure design, should also avoid the appearance of geometric gaps, including knife marks, corners, translation slots, holes and section mutation.

3. Processing methods

Incorrect processing is likely to lead to stress concentration and lack of finish, which will lead to defects in the mold, affecting the service life. Therefore, the surface of the cooling control system should be smooth and free of any machining marks during the mold processing.

Mold processing industry is developing rapidly, now many things belong to the mold processing made of this article to take you to understand its characteristics.


Injection mold belongs to many molds in a wide range of applications, whether in the cosmetic industry or some daily necessities in the processing, are often applied to. In the process of mold processing, for the entire production process and related details of the work should be done, otherwise it may lead to the mold is affected.


For enterprises specializing in mold processing, in the production of different types of molds, whether the mold is qualified standards are somewhat different, especially for injection molds such as more delicate type of mold, in the entire production process for the production of details will be more demanding.
