Design and manufacture of die casting moulds

Die casting is a processing method that uses high pressure to inject molten metal into a mould for forming, and is often used in automotive, electronics, aerospace and aviation. Design and manufacture of a high-quality die casting mould is essential to ensure product accuracy and quality. This article will introduce the design and manufacturing process of die-casting mould in detail.

Die casting mould design 1.mould structure design

Die casting mould can be divided into three parts: upper mould, lower mould and core (if necessary). When designing the mould structure, it is necessary to consider the direction of metal flow, the structural characteristics of the product, the position and number of cutting surfaces, as well as the feasibility of mould production and use.

2. Selection of mould materials

Die casting mould usually requires good strength and toughness, and can withstand high temperature, high pressure and wear and tear and other factors. Commonly used materials are aluminium alloy, steel and high-strength wear-resistant alloy.

3. Mould surface treatment

Mould surface treatment will affect the product surface quality and surface roughness. Commonly used surface treatment methods include electrolytic polishing, electrochemical processing, sand blasting and electric discharge machining.

Die casting mould manufacturing 1.CNC machining

CNC machining is one of the main means of modern mould manufacturing, can improve the mould manufacturing precision and efficiency. Commonly used CNC machining equipment including CNC milling machine, CNC EDM machine and CNC wire cutting machine.

2. Processing control

The machining process of die casting mould needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality and precision of the mould. Processing should include mould preheating, roughing, processing and finishing steps, each step of the processing parameters should be recorded and controlled in detail.

3.Mould assembly and debugging

After finishing the processing, the mould needs to be assembled and debugged. In the process of assembly, it is necessary to check and adjust the various parts of the mould. In the debugging process, it is necessary to carry out mould opening test and mould adjustment to ensure that the mould can meet the design requirements.
