WHAT IS THE INJECTION MOULDING PROCESS?

Image
The plastic injection moulding process produces large numbers of parts of high quality with great accuracy, very quickly. Plastic material in the form of granules is melted until soft enough to be injected under pressure to fill a mould. The result is that the shape is exactly copied. Once the plastic moulding has cooled sufficiently to harden the injection mould opens releasing the part. The whole injection moulding process then repeats. CLOSE MOULD CLAMPING – the moving and fixed platens of the injection moulding machine hold the mould tool together under pressure. INJECT MOLTEN PLASTIC INJECTION – the molten plastic that has been melted from pellet form in the barrel of the moulding machine is injected under pressure into the mould. HOLD MOULD CLOSED DWELLING – after the molten plastic has been injected into the mould, the pressure is applied to ensure all cavities are filled. COOLING – the plastic parts are then allowed to solidify in the mould. OPEN MOULD &...

C45 Round Bar | AISI 1045 | DIN 1.1191 | JIS S45C

Image
Steel  C45  Round Bar  is an unalloyed medium carbon steel, which is also a general carbon engineering steel. C45 is a medium strength steel with good machinability and excellent tensile properties. C45 round steel is generally supplied in the black hot rolled or occasionally in the normalised condition, with a typical tensile strength range 570 – 700 Mpa and Brinell hardness range 170 – 210 in either condition. It does not however respond satisfactorily to nitriding due to a lack of suitable alloying elements. C45 round bar steel is equivalent to  EN8  or  080M40 . Steel C45 bar or plate is suitable for the manufacture of parts such as gears, bolts, general-purpose axles and shafts, keys and studs. 1. Supply Range of Steel C45 Round Bar C45 Steel Round Bar: diameter 8mm – 3000mm C45 Steel Plate: thickness 10mm – 1500mm  x width 200mm – 3000mm C45 Steel Flat Bar: 200mm – 1000mm Square C45 Steel: 20mm-800mm Hexagon Steel. ...

What is T1 High Speed tool steel ?

Image
AISI/ASTM T1 tool steel is one of the original tungsten high speed steels, although all tungsten steel grades are used to a limited extent because of the cost and questionable availability of tungsten. Of the T group steels, the general purpose T1 tool steels and the high-vanadium-cobalt T15 are most commonly used. T1 high speed steel is an air or oil hardening tool steel which has good comprehensive performance.  HSS  T1 tool steel has a high hardness (HRC62~66), strength, toughness and heat resistance, which is an excellent cutting tool material. T-1 tool steel grade is on the whole used for turning, planning & slotting instruments, tapes, twist drill, threading dies, profile slicing instruments, broaching instruments & reamers. Generally, high speed steels are divided into  three groups : Those bearing the symbol T where tungsten is the major alloying element; Those bearing the symbol M indicating that molybdenum are the principal alloying element; ...

D2 Tool Steel | 1.2379 | X153CrMo12 | SKD11

Image
D2 Tool Steel | 1.2379 | X153CrMo12 | SKD11 We are professional cold works  D2 tool steel  supplier for more than two decades. We supply AISI /  ASTM A681  cold works  D2 tool steels alloy steel materials in reliable quality and for attractive price for sale. We have deep knowledge of D2  tool steel ’s chemical composition and properties. Contact us for any D2 tool steel materials demands. Cold Works D2 tool steel is a high carbon, high chromium tool steel (12% chrome) with extremely high wear resisting properties, heat treatable to 60-62 Rc. D2 steel is very wear resistant but not as tough as lower alloyed steels. D2 tool steel hardens in air with a low order of movement and offers a measure of corrosion resistance when polished. The high percentage of chromium gives it mild corrosion-resisting properties in the hardened condition. The mechanical properties of D2 are very sensitive to heat treatment. D2 steel is available in de-carb free rounds, flats...
