The process characteristics of hardware mold parts machining mainly include the following points:
High Precision Requirements: The machining accuracy of mold parts directly affects the quality and performance of the product, so there are extremely high requirements for dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy, and surface roughness.
Complex Shapes: Mold parts usually have complex geometric shapes, requiring the use of various machining processes and equipment during the machining process.
High Material Hardness: Mold parts are typically made of high-hardness materials, such as tool steel and hard alloys, making machining more difficult.
Diverse Processes: Various processes such as turning, milling, grinding, and EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) are often used during the machining process to meet different machining needs.
Heat Treatment Requirements: To improve the wear resistance and service life of the mold, heat treatment such as quenching and tempering is usually required.
Surface Treatment: To enhance the surface quality and corrosion resistance of the mold, surface treatments such as chrome plating and nitriding are often performed.
