Die casting molds generally use hot work mold steel, commonly including H13 SKD61, 8407, 8417 and other models. For aluminum alloy die-casting molds, it is recommended to use LG mold steel with high heat resistance, high hardness, high toughness, and high thermal conductivity. In addition, the design, processing accuracy, and maintenance during use of the mold can also affect its service life.
Common die-casting mold materials
Die casting molds generally use hot work mold steel, commonly including H13 SKD61, 8407, 8417 and other models. These materials can maintain good performance at high temperatures, such as hardness, strength, and toughness.
Selection of High Performance Mold Steel
For aluminum alloy die-casting molds, it is recommended to use LG mold steel with high heat resistance, high hardness, high toughness, and high thermal conductivity. This type of mold steel has good high-temperature softening resistance, sufficient strength, high toughness, and fast heat dissipation ability, which can effectively avoid mold cracking and improve mold life.
In addition to the selection of mold steel, the design, processing accuracy, and maintenance during use of the mold also affect its service life. Scientific and reasonable structural design can improve the service life of molds, reduce material loss, and reduce waste in the production process. During use, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating procedures to extend the service life of the mold.
