3 main important factors concerning
die cast are mold, material and machinery. Among these factors, mold plays an
important role since it directly affects the productivity, quality and cost.
During the mold design stage, much attention is necessary to evaluate the selection
of mold material, mold structure etc. Mold release and mold friction change with
different kinds of metals, whereas, the moldﾕs life span is mainly affected during
processes such as mold fabrication, machining, surface treatment etc. Hence the
understanding and knowledge of overall process is important. At present, mold
design is carried out by CAD (Compute r
Aided Design). The design data is directly sent online to manufacturers, thus
the making of highly reliable products is possible with the sharing and exchange
of process information. |
