The die-casting mold market is extremely competitive, and most manufacturers place a strong emphasis on reducing the manufacturing costs of die-casting molds as much as possible.According to the information shared by mold manufacturers, selecting high-quality mold materials is the foundation for lowering the cost of die-casting molds.Mold costs can be reduced by using an optimal design that is both economical and reliable.Mold costs can be reduced in a number of ways, the most important of which is through rational management of processing procedures and the reduction of design and processing errors.
In order for a die-casting manufacturer to manufacture a mold, the mold must first be evaluated in terms of the customer's casting requirements as well as the demand for die-casting in the marketplace.If the number of die-castings is large, you can choose a better material to ensure that the mold has a long life expectancy guaranteed.If the price is too low, it is possible that the die will not be die-cast and will be scrapped, which would be a waste of money.
The die template for a die casting machine less than 350t can be S50C; a die casting machine greater than 350t can be FCD550 or S50C; and a die casting machine greater than 2,000t can be car shell, variable shell, four-cylinder, three-cylinder, Sn2MC, S50C, and other materials, as well as other materials.When a customer does not have any special requirements, the mold side pumping cylinder can be used at a low cost, or the mold manufacturer can create accessories such as cylinder attachments and cylinder limiting devices, which will reduce the mold's overall cost.In addition, high-quality formwork and cylinders can be reused, and die casting defects causes and solutions can be continued by simply changing the mold cavity, resulting in a reduction in mold costs and increased productivity.
When designing molds, the size of the casting should be taken into consideration. The die-casting machine tonnage should be calculated based on the projected area of the casting, and the mold structure (number of cavities) should be verified.For castings that are bilaterally symmetrical or have a slender shape, you can use a single mold with two cavities; for castings that are in high demand for a variety of small parts, you can use a single mold with two cavities, one mold with four cavities, one mold with six cavities, and so on.Costs can be reduced by purchasing multiple pieces.
Mold design should include the determination of the reference coordinate system based on the castings, the rational construction of the parting surface based on the direction of the mold, and the design of moving molds, fixed molds, and side core pulling, among other considerations.In the first type of casting, the parts are placed parallel with each other on the vertical and side walls, resulting in a compact design structure that saves material, facilitates processing, and has a small total mold volume, which is advantageous for die casting.It should be noted that the second type of casting is not parallel to either end face of the sky side; as a result, the mold cavity is significantly larger than that shown in the second piece, and the mold cost rises as well.
In accordance with the design of the parting, the size of the mold cavity, the template size, the direction of the side-drawing slider, and the size of the cylinder are all determined by pressing the casting machine's tonnage.When designing a die-casting mold, it is important to keep in mind that each component of the mold should be simple to process, simple to operate, and simple to assemble by the fitter, among other things, in order to save processing time and lower costs.
