Everything You Need To Know About Injection Molding

Image
What is Injection Molding: Injection Molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts in large volume. It is most typically used in mass-production processes where the same part is being created thousands or even millions of times in succession. Why Use Injection Molding: The principal advantage of injection molding is the ability to scale production en masse. Once the initial costs have been paid the price per unit during injection molded manufacturing is extremely low. The price also tends to drop drastically as more parts are produced. Other advantages include the following: Injection Molding produces low scrap rates relative to traditional manufacturing processes like CNC machining which cut away substantial percentages of an original plastic block or sheet. This however can be a negative relative to additive manufacturing processes like 3D printing that have even lower scrap rates. Note: waste plastic from injection molding manufacturing typically comes consistent...

A2 Tool Steel | 1.2363 | X100CrMoV5 | SKD12 | BA2 Steel

Image
AISI  A2   tool steel  is one of ‘A’ group cold works steel in  ASTM A681  standard.  A2 Tool Steel  is a versatile, air hardening chromium alloy tool steel that replaces  O1  tool steel when safer hardening, less distortion and increased wear resistance are required. AISI type A2 steel is intermediate in wear resistance between O1 oil-hardening tool steel and  D2  high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. AISI Steel A2 is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 57-62 HRC. ASTM grade A2 steel delivers good toughness with medium wear resistance and is relatively easy to machine. Tool Steels A2 are used in many applications which require good wear resistance as well as good toughness. Characteristics of A2 tool steel include: good machinability, high compressive strength, high dimensional stability after hardening and tempering. Good hardenability, very good non-deforming properties, deep hardening, Good wear...

M2 Tool Steel | 1.3343 | HS-6-5-2C| SKH51

M2 Tool Steel | 1.3343 | HS-6-5-2C| SKH51 AISI  M2 Tool Steel  is molybdenum based high-speed steel in tungsten–molybdenum series.  HSS  grade steel  M2  is a medium alloyed high speed steel which has good machinability. The H-SS M2 chemical composition gives a good combination of well-balanced toughness, wear resistance and red hardness properties. Widely used for cutting tools such as twist drills, taps, milling cutters, saws, knives etc. Also commonly used in cold work punches and dies and cutting applications involving high speed and light cuts. Grade M2 High Speed Steel is by far the most popular high speed steel replacing high speed steel grade  T1  in most applications because of its superior properties and relative economy. We are one of leading AISI M2 HSS steel supplier and we can offer better quality and M2 alloy steel price for your various applications. 1. Supply Range of M2  tool steel  High Speed M2 Ste...
