Die casting mold stress

During the use of die-casting mold, the die-casting mold will have stress. So what is the reason for this situation? Let's take a look at the causes of stress in the lower die-casting mold.

1. Mold opening: In the process of core pulling and mold opening, when some components are deformed, mechanical stress will also be generated.

2. Mold temperature: the mold should be preheated to a certain temperature before production, otherwise, chilling will occur when the high temperature molten metal is filled, which will cause the temperature gradient of the inner and outer layers of the mold to increase, forming thermal stress, and cracking or even cracking on the mold surface . In the production process, the mold temperature continues to rise. When the mold temperature is overheated, it is easy to stick to the mold, and the moving parts fail to cause damage to the mold surface. A cooling temperature control system should be installed to keep the mold working temperature within a certain range.

3. Filling: The molten metal is filled with high pressure and high speed, which will inevitably produce fierce impact and erosion on the mold, thus generating mechanical stress and thermal stress. During the impact process, molten metal, impurities, and gas will also produce complex chemical interactions with the surface of the mold, and accelerate the generation of corrosion and cracks. When molten metal is encased in gas, it will expand first in the low-pressure area in the cavity. When the gas pressure increases, inward blasting occurs, pulling out the metal particles on the surface of the cavity and causing damage, and cracks due to cavitation.

4. Production process: In the production process of each die-casting part, due to the heat exchange between the mold and the molten metal, the surface of the mold produces periodic temperature changes, causing periodic thermal expansion and contraction, and generating periodic thermal stress. For example, the surface of the mold is subjected to compressive stress due to the temperature rise during pouring, and after the mold is opened to eject the casting, the surface of the mold is subjected to tensile stress due to the temperature drop. When this alternating stress is repeatedly cycled, the stress accumulated inside the mold becomes larger and larger. When the stress exceeds the fatigue limit of the material, cracks occur on the surface of the mold.

Now we have very stable surface finish suppliers to assist us to do different surface finishes with stable and excellent quality. Some Frequently used surface finishes are Anodizing, Oxide, Nickel Plating, Chrome Plating, Gold / Silver Plating, Powder Coating, Zinc Plating, PVD Coating, Passivation, Heat Treatment, Electrochemical machining, Brushing, Polishing, Sandblasting, etc.
General Tolerance of Equipments
1. CNC Milling tolerance: +/-0.01mm
2. CNC turning tolerance: +/-0.01mm
3. Precision grinding tolerance: +/-0.005mm
4. EDM machining tolerance: +/-0.005mm
How to Control Quality?
1. Inspection by machinist himself who is responsible for a specific part machining.
2. First article part inspection by QA.
3. IPQC patrol inspection during production.
4. PQC inspection before shipping according to ISO9001 sampling inspection standard for large quantity production. And for small quantity, 100% full inspection.
5. Material Certificates and outgoing inspection reports could be provided.
Our CNC machine and swiss machining shop sets full and advanced inspection instruments such as CMM, projector, height instrument, industrial microscope, micrometer, calipers, thread gauges, pin gauges, block gauges, etc. so as to inspect all details on drawings and confirm quality is good and issue the ourgoing reports accordingly.
How to Start Working with Our Company?
1) Sending detailed RFQ with 2D and 3D drawings to through email to info@pintejin.com. General drawing formats like PDF/ STEP/IGES/X_T etc are accepted.
2) We check and confirm about materials, surface finish and quantiy, and evaluate. If any question, our sales engineer would double check with customers until everything is clear. We will quote accordingly if we are ok to make the parts with best quality. If no question and everything is clear, we send quotation with best prices within 24 hours. Our sales engineer team is online for 7/24 for offering customers the best cnc machining services.
3) We recommend to start from few pcs prototypes for approval at the beginning. If nothing wrong after customer’s test and approval, then we proceed to volume cnc manufacturing.
Some Tips for Customers
a. We accept Paypal payment of small amount payment for samples or small batch orders for building mutual trust at the beginning. General payment terms is 30% by wire transfer, and balance before shipping.
b. Delivery time for few pcs samples are generally 5 to 7 days, and 15 to 25 days for volume production. If the order quantity was too big, we would check and confirm delivery time sepertely.
c. Our company has concrete promise to all customers that if any quality problem caused by our factory, we would remake all parts for free or send money back.
Safe Packing Methods to Prevent Goods from Damage during Transportation
Due to long distance transportation to overseas countries, safe and strong packing is very important to gurantee the parts to be in good conditions when arriving at customer’s hand. We choose different packing materials according to different parts and quantity. Some commonly used packing materials are pp/bubble bag, oil paper, foam, blister tray, 5 layer carton, wood box, etc. See below some packing pictures.
