What should be paid attention to in the manufacturing of hardware mold equipment?
Material selection: The selection of materials for hardware molds is crucial. Common hardware mold materials include carbon tool steel (such as T10A), low-alloy tool steel (such as CrWMn), high chromium steel (such as Cr12, Cr12MOV), medium chromium tool steel (such as Cr5MoV), and high-speed tool steel (such as W18Cr4V). These materials each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the selection should be based on specific needs and usage environment.
Processing accuracy: The processing accuracy of molds directly affects their effectiveness and lifespan. During the processing, it is necessary to ensure the training of the cutting edge, control of the gap, and the machining accuracy of the convex and concave molds to ensure that the punching gap of the mold is reasonable and avoid problems such as burrs and chips.
Assembly specifications: During the assembly process, it is necessary to strictly follow the specifications to ensure the fit clearance between the guide column and guide sleeve, the vertical axis of the upper and lower concave convex molds, and the smooth sliding of the mold frame. The accuracy and standardization of these details directly affect the effectiveness and lifespan of the mold.
