Key Points to Note in Precision Mold Parts Processing
May 31, 2024
1. Rational Equipment Selection: Precision mold parts processing mainly involves removing most of the machining allowances, rather than requiring high-precision machining of mechanical parts. Therefore, for rough machining, it’s advisable to use equipment with greater power and higher precision, while maintaining the use of relatively high-precision machines throughout the process. Rough and fine machining on different machines can fully utilize the capabilities of the equipment and prolong its lifespan.
2. To ensure the precision of precision mold parts processing, separate rough and fine machining should be conducted using the best practices. During rough machining, with large cutting volumes, the workpiece experiences significant cutting forces, clamping forces, heat, and surface hardening phenomena. The workpiece also accumulates considerable internal stress. If rough machining is not properly executed, the precision of the parts will quickly deteriorate due to stress redistribution. For machining of high-precision parts, it’s essential to arrange post-machining processes such as low-temperature annealing to eliminate internal stress after both rough and fine machining.
3. Heat treatment processes are often scheduled in the process route of precision mold parts processing to improve metal cutting performance. These processes include annealing, normalizing, tempering, etc., which are generally arranged after rough machining but before finishing. Heat treatment aims to eliminate internal stresses and enhance mechanical properties. Processes like carburizing quenching and tempering to improve component mechanical performance are typically arranged during mechanical parts processing.
