The parts of an injection mold are divided into the following categories based on their different functions. a) Mold closing state  b) Mold opening state 1-Moving half of a mold; 2-Fixed half of a mold; 3-Cooling channel; 4-Clamping plate of the fixed half; 5-Locating ring; 6-Sprue bush; 7- Punch; 8-Guide pillar; 9-Guide...read more

Alloy steels are basically carbon steels with additional elements added to alter the characteris-tics and bring about a predictable change in the mechanical properties of the alloyed metal. Alloy steels are not normally used for most tools due to their increased cost, but some have been found favor for special applications. The alloying elements used most...read more

Anodizing is used to increase surface hardness, wear resistance and dielectric strength. Anodizing can also provide a good base for painting or colouring, creating an extremely stable but porous oxide layer on the surface of aluminum.     Type                        ...read more

The top 7 forms of CNC machining drive the development of method of metal components and parts during the manufacturing process in the industry. With the rise in technology, machining techniques have evolved over time. While many conventional and modern techniques are in the effective uses, CNC still remains as one of the most effective and...read more

The plastic injection molding cycle consists of four phases: 1. Clamping is the closing of the mold. 2. Injection is the filling of the mold. 3. Cooling is the hardening of the plastic within the mold. 4. Ejection is the removal of the plastic part from the mold.   Clamping During the clamping portion of the injection...read more

  Among the vast array of industrial metal finishing options are two comparable processes known as electrophoretic deposition (colloquially known as electrocoating or e-coating) and powder coating. These two processes are similar, as they both involve the application of a coating to a substrate for purposes such as enhancing corrosion protection,...read more
