ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) molds, that is, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer molds, is an important category of plastic molds.ABS material is widely used in automotive, electronics, home appliances, toys and other fields due to its good mechanical properties, processing performance, surface gloss, as well as a certain degree of impact resistance and heat resistance. ABS molds are widely used in automotive, electronics, home appliances, toys and many other fields. Customized ABS molds can meet the shape, size and performance requirements of different products, is a key link in the production process of plastic products.
1.ABS mold production process
Design stage: According to the customer’s requirements, the 3D design of the mold is carried out, including the determination of the product shape, size, parting line, gate position and other key elements. After the design is completed, simulation analysis is carried out to ensure the rationality of the mold structure and production feasibility.
Material preparation: Choose high quality mold steel, such as P20, 718H, NAK80, etc. These materials have good processing performance, wear resistance and toughness, and can meet the high requirements of ABS molds.
Processing and manufacturing: Through CNC milling, EDM, wire cutting and other precision machining methods, the mold steel is processed into various parts of the mold. During the machining process, the machining accuracy and surface quality are strictly controlled to ensure the precision and life of the mold.
Heat treatment: Heat treatment of the mold, such as quenching, tempering, etc., in order to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the mold, while maintaining its good toughness and resistance to deformation.
Assembly and debugging: Assemble the finished mold parts and debug them to ensure the smooth opening and closing of the mold, accurate positioning and good injection effect.
Trial mold and modification: Use ABS material for trial mold, according to the results of the trial mold necessary modifications and adjustments to the mold to ensure that the mold can produce products in line with customer requirements.
2.ABS mold customization
Personalized design: According to the drawings or samples provided by customers, personalized design is carried out to meet the special needs of customers.
Material Selection: According to the use of the product environment and performance requirements, recommend the appropriate mold steel for customers to ensure the durability and stability of the mold.
Processing precision: Adopt advanced processing equipment and technology to ensure the processing precision and surface quality of the mold and improve the molding effect of the products.
Delivery cycle: according to the customer’s order quantity and delivery requirements, reasonable arrangement of production plan to ensure on-time delivery.
After-sales service: Provide repair, maintenance and upgrade service of the molds to ensure the long-term stable operation of the molds.
3.ABS mold material introduction
Material: mold steel, such as P20, 718H, NAK80, etc.
Characteristics:
Good processing performance: mold steel is easy to cut, grind and polish, and can meet the various processing needs in the mold manufacturing process.
High hardness and abrasion resistance: after heat treatment, the mold steel has high hardness and abrasion resistance, able to resist the abrasion and corrosion of ABS material in the injection molding process.
Good toughness: mold steel has good toughness, can withstand the shock and vibration in the injection molding process, to maintain the stability and service life of the mold.
Deformation resistance: mold steel has a high resistance to deformation, can be in the high temperature and high pressure injection molding environment to maintain the shape and dimensional stability of the mold.
