Double injection, Bi-injection molding, or 2k injection molding, is a plastic injection process allowing the production of a part made of two materials with different characteristics using a single press and a single tool. Examples of its use include parts requiring two colors or two different hardness levels. As a specialist in plastic injection molding, …

One of the key methods of sheet metal cutting is laser cutting. Laser cutters use powerful laser light that is intensified through lenses or mirrors. It is a precise and energy-efficient machine suitable for thin or medium gauge sheet metal, but may have difficulty penetrating the hardest materials. Another sheet metal cutting process is water …

Die casting mold manufacturers often encounter new product development and updates to old molds. Generally speaking, the internal and external quality of die castings depend on production process parameters such as liquid metal temperature, die casting pressure, speed, and speed switching points. But in most cases, it is also closely related to mold design and …

As a die-casting method, sufficient pressure must be ensured during the die-casting process. Meanwhile, various factors can seriously affect the production of zinc alloy die castings, and burrs have become a headache for many die casting factories. The four commonly used methods for deburring die castings are as follows:
1. The surface of die-casting parts is a dense surface layer, approximately 0.05mm to 0.1mm. Below the surface is a loose and porous structure. Therefore, when polishing and polishing, do not throw off all the surface layer to expose the loose bottom layer, otherwise electroplating is very difficult and will reduce the corrosion resistance of …

Zinc alloy die castings are alloys composed mainly of non-ferrous metal zinc and incorporating other metal elements. Common alloying elements include aluminum, copper, magnesium, cadmium, lead, titanium, etc. Compared with other die-casting methods, high pressure and high speed are particularly evident in zinc alloy die-casting. Why is the use of zinc alloy die castings so …
The design of continuous molds mainly depends on how the product or component passes through them. A challenging stage in progressive mold (continuous mold) design is rotating parts along the metal strip. In most cases, rotating components to optimize materials is usually the only option. In other cases, you need to compromise between component rotation …
The treatment technology that uses modern technology to change the composition, structure, and properties of the material surface and sub surface layer of die-casting molds is called surface modification technology.
Vacuum thermoforming is a type of thermoforming that involves using vacuum pressure to form a plastic sheet into a specific shape. This process is commonly used in the production of packaging, trays, and other plastic products. The vacuum thermoforming process can be broken down into four main steps: heating, forming, cooling, and trimming. First, the plastic sheet …
