Product Material
Our customized hexagonal mold cores are primarily crafted from high-quality alloy steel. This material is selected for its outstanding mechanical properties, including high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and remarkable strength. Alloy steel can withstand the intense pressure and friction during the molding process, ensuring a long service life for the mold cores. Moreover, it has good heat treatment performance, enabling precise control over its internal structure and properties through heat treatment techniques like quenching and tempering.
Manufacturing Process
1. Design Phase: Utilizing advanced 3D modeling software, our professional designers work closely with clients. Based on the specific requirements of the product to be molded, they meticulously design every dimension and detail of the hexagonal mold core, ensuring seamless integration with the overall mold structure.
2.Material Preparation: Once the design is finalized, we source the appropriate alloy steel. The raw materials are then subject to strict quality inspections, including ultrasonic flaw detection and hardness testing, to guarantee the material's integrity.
3. Machining: Precision CNC machining centers are employed for cutting, milling, and drilling operations. These machines can achieve micron-level accuracy, carving out the hexagonal shape and internal channels, cavities, etc., with extreme precision.
4. Heat Treatment: The semi-finished mold cores undergo heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering. Quenching rapidly cools the workpiece to increase its hardness, while tempering relieves internal stresses, enhancing the toughness of the mold core.
5. Surface Finishing: To further improve wear resistance and reduce friction, techniques like polishing and coating are applied. Polishing gives the surface a mirror-like finish, and coatings such as hard chromium plating add an extra layer of protection.
Processing Difficulties
1. Geometric Precision: Maintaining the strict hexagonal shape with accurate angles and side lengths is extremely challenging. Even the slightest deviation can lead to fitting problems when assembling the mold, affecting the quality of the final molded product.
2. Internal Structure Machining: If the mold core has complex internal channels or cavities, chip removal becomes a major headache. Poor chip removal can cause tool breakage during machining and leave burrs or rough surfaces that are difficult to rectify.
3. Heat Treatment Uniformity: Ensuring uniform heat distribution throughout the alloy steel during heat treatment is difficult. Inhomogeneous heat treatment can result in inconsistent hardness across different parts of the mold core, increasing the risk of premature failure.
Application Scenarios
1. Plastic Injection Molding: In the production of plastic parts with hexagonal cross-sections, such as specialized connectors, cable glands, and some decorative plastic components, our hexagonal mold cores play a vital role in creating accurate and high-quality products.
2. Die Casting: For manufacturing metal parts with hexagonal geometries, like certain types of fasteners or small mechanical components, the mold cores enable precise shaping of molten metal under high pressure.
3. Rubber Molding: When producing hexagonal rubber seals, gaskets, or shock-absorbing components, these mold cores ensure the uniformity and precision of the rubber products.
Precautions for Use
1. Installation: When installing the hexagonal mold core into the mold, it must be gently inserted to avoid scratching the surface. Ensure proper alignment using fixtures or positioning pins to prevent misalignment that could damage the core or the mold.
2. Operation Temperature: Monitor the operating temperature during the molding process. Exceeding the recommended temperature range of the mold core material can cause softening, deformation, or accelerated wear. If necessary, use cooling systems to maintain a stable temperature.
3. Cleaning and Maintenance: After each production cycle, thoroughly clean the mold core to remove any residual materials such as plastics, metals, or rubbers. Use appropriate cleaning agents and soft tools to avoid scratching the surface. Regularly inspect the core for signs of wear, cracks, or other damage, and carry out timely repairs or replacements.
