Things to note when selecting materials for die casting molds

What affects the service life of die-casting molds is the die-casting material. At present, there are many inferior materials in the market. Correctly selecting materials has become the main means for manufacturers to improve their market competitiveness. Materials are the foundation of aluminum alloy die-casting. So what aspects should manufacturers pay attention to when selecting materials?First, if the output of the parts produced is large and the size is constant, high-performance die-casting mold materials can be used for manufacturing. This type of material can be treated with low vacuum surface strengthening, which improves the durability of the mold. For aluminum alloy die-casting and zinc alloy die-casting products with complex shapes, high precision requirements and long manufacturing cycles, their processing costs far exceed the material costs of the mold, so high-performance materials should be used for manufacturing.Second, for die-casting molds with small part output, or molds with simple shapes and easy to manufacture, or molds that need to be frequently modified, ordinary aluminum alloy die-casting can be used.Third, when selecting materials, it is also necessary to consider sustainable development. Try to use new types of die-casting mold materials. The selected materials should also be combined with national resources, and zinc alloy die-casting materials rich in elements in my country should be selected.Fourth, we should correctly treat the development of domestic mold materials and choose the type of materials that are truly suitable for us. We should not choose inferior materials to reduce costs. Instead, we should first consider the quality of the product, have a long-term vision, and know that only products with reliable quality can go further.
