Dongguan Lingzhong Precision Mold Processing will explain the classification and use of molds for you

Molds have a wide range of uses, and there are many types of mold R&D and design. Scientifically classify molds, develop the mold industry in a planned way, systematically research and develop mold production technology, promote the modernization of mold R&D design and manufacturing technology, and give full play to the functions of molds And role; it is of great significance to research and formulate mold technical standards, improve mold standardization and specialized collaborative production, improve mold production efficiency, and shorten mold manufacturing cycle.

Generally speaking, molds can be divided into three categories: sheet metal forming molds, such as punching dies, etc.; metal volume forming molds, such as forging (upsetting, extrusion) molds, die-casting molds, etc.; molding molds for non-metallic material products, such as plastic injection Molds and compression molds, molding molds for rubber products, glass products, ceramic products, etc. There are many specific classification methods of molds, and the commonly used ones are: according to the structure of the mold, it can be divided into single-process molds, composite molds, and progressive molds in the die. Compression molds, injection molds, extrusion molds, etc. in plastic molding molds can be divided into electrical molds, automobile molds, TV molds, etc. according to the mold objects.

According to the mold development and design materials, it can be divided into cemented carbide molds and steel molds. According to the nature of the process, it can be divided into punching dies, blanking dies, drawing dies, bending dies, blister dies in plastic molding dies, blow molding dies, etc. These classification methods have the advantages of intuition and convenience, but they are not completely reasonable, and it is easy to mix mold types and varieties, which makes the variety disorderly. Therefore, using the comprehensive induction method, the molds are divided into ten categories. Each category of molds can be divided into several sub-categories and varieties according to their use objects, materials, functions, mold manufacturing methods, and process properties.
