High-quality molds in precision foundries mean high-quality castings

For precision foundries, high-quality molds mean high-quality castings, which means lower costs, higher output values ​​and profits. At present, the domestic mold industry is developing rapidly. There are no fewer than hundreds of aluminum alloy gravity casting mold production plants. With the development of the automobile manufacturing industry and the influx of foreign capital, the scale and technical strength of mold production plants are increasing day by day. . With the popularization and application of CNC machining equipment, the processing level of the mold industry is not far from that of foreign counterparts. Many mold factories also have more advanced testing equipment, but our management level, design philosophy, and business philosophy are still far behind foreign counterparts. , Mold materials and heat treatment strengthening methods are also far behind developed countries.

The current situation is that for precision casting mold production plants, there is a lack of practical experience, and engineering and technical personnel who understand both mold manufacturing and casting process are also very scarce. Mold debugging and process verification are also a hurdle in the mold production process. Because the successful mold and mature technology are what many foundries with weak technical force hope. The standardization of molds and the application of standard mold parts are the inevitable trends in the development of the mold industry in the future. This is especially true for aluminum alloy gravity casting, which started late. Only when mold standardization is implemented can the behavior of mold manufacturers be regulated, and it will be possible to prompt mold manufacturers to provide molds of high quality and low price that meet the standards. At the same time, the standardization of molds and the application of standard mold parts will make it easier for foundries to monitor mold quality, and also make mold maintenance and maintenance more convenient. The use of standard mold parts and the scale effect of production will help change the current situation of multiple varieties, small batches, and low production efficiency in the mold industry, which will help reduce costs and increase productivity. In short, precise dimensions, high production efficiency, ease of use and maintenance are the eternal pursuit of the mold industry and the foundry industry.
