Regular Mold Steel
P20 is the most commonly used injection molding steel. It is the best
choice for small to medium batch mold. Supplied in the pre-hardened state at HRC 30-32, it is
very
tough, yet fairly easily machined. etc is also commonly used injection mold steel.
High hard mold steel is the best choice for manufacturing high quality
and high volume plastic parts. Hardness can reach to HRC 50-60 after heat treatment. The price
of
this kind of mold steel is high and the processing cost ver high.
Recommendation Types: S7, NAK80, S136, M316, M318 etc.
For high transparency, especially for optical plastic parts, it is
critical to choose the mold steel suitable for transparent plastic injection molding. Mainly
consider using 4Cr13 and other types of martensitic corrosion-resistant stainless steel or
age-hardened steel. Nak80 S136 mold steel has excellent polishing properties and is particularly
suitable for transparent plastic injection molding.
Injection molding of plastics containing glass fiber is a major challenge
to the mold because of the need to consider the wear resistance of the mold.Mainly consider
using
Cr12MoV and other types of high wear-resistant quenched steel. This type of mold requires heat
treatment and the machining cost is relatively high.
Because the cost of aluminum molds is much lower than that of traditional
steel and carbon steel injection molds, it is often used in the small batch production test
market

Our plastic injection molding process is suitable for solve the various demands of industries, including the
automotive, medical, electronic & electrical and consumer goods fields
An injection mold is a mold used for plastic part production. It forms the required shaped parts by injecting molten plastic into the mold cavity, where it cools and solidifies. Some key things to know about injection tooling include:
Injection molds are composed of multiple parts, including pouring system, core, cavity, mold closing guide mechanism, molding parts, exhaust system, product launch and reset system, side core pulling mechanism and mold heating or cooling channel, etc. These parts work together to complete the plastic injection molding process.
Injection molding tooling is normally made of hardened tool steels for durability and longevity. Materials like carburized steel are commonly used.
The injection tooling needs to consider elements like temperature controls, coating/plating, upkeep to ensure quality production over long lifecycles.
How much does a injection mold cost?
The complexity of your plastic parts and the number of cavities are major factors in determining cost. The mold costs range from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
What is the lead time of the injection mold?
A tipycal injection tooling lead time is 30-35days, depending on the specific requirements of your project, including of the number of cavities, mold structure, and the size of the mold.
What’s your mold making capability?
We have a number of professional mold designers, as well as experienced technical engineers team, a number of precision high-speed CNC, sinker EDM, wire EDM etc mold manufacturing equipment. All of these are guaranteed to produce super standard precision molds for you.
What are the key considerations during a injection mold making?
There are a few things to consider When a injection mold making including:
Part Complexity
Mold structure design
Lifetime of the mold
Cavity number
Production volume
Mold cost
What is a SPI Mold Classifcation?
A SPI Mold Classification is a system used to categorize molds based on their quality and performance. SPI stands for “Society for the Promotion of injection Molding” and was developed as a way to standardize mold evaluation and classification methods. This classification system provides clear guidelines for quoting and ordering molds according to the production needs, with options available.
Class 101 Mold: Class 101 molds are the most advanced, designed for very high volume automated production over 1 million cycles. They utilize the highest grade materials and precision machining with optional features like spares kits.
Class 102 Mold: Class 102 molds are also for medium-high volumes under 1 million cycles, constructed with high quality materials but may omit some standard Class 101 features.
Class 103 Mold: Class 103 are general purpose molds for medium production under 500K cycles, with design drawings and recommended cooling.
Class 104 Mold: Class 104 molds are for low volumes under 100K cycles and more economical materials.
Class 105 Mold: Class 105 prototype molds can be made of any suitable material for initial feasibility runs under 500 cycles.
What role does mold play in the injection molding process?
Injection molding relies on the mold to produce plastic products, melted plastic, is injected into the mold, such as resin cooling and hardening, it is removed from the mold, plastic products are formed. High quality molds are essential for the production of high quality parts.
