What is mold biting? Introducing methods to prevent biting.
[Presentation of Coating Materials] We will introduce "galling," which leads to a decline in the appearance quality and dimensional accuracy of molded products, resulting in a deterioration of product quality.
"Die biting" refers to the phenomenon where resin sticks to or gets caught in the mold, causing scratches or defects in the molded products. This can occur when resin adheres to the mold's gates or flash surfaces, or when the mold patterns do not transfer to the surface of the molded products. When die biting occurs, it can lead to a decline in the appearance quality and dimensional accuracy of the molded products, potentially worsening product quality. Additionally, it may necessitate repairs or maintenance of the mold, which can adversely affect productivity. **Methods to Prevent Die Biting:** Surface Treatment: Properly treating the surface of the mold makes it less likely for resin to stick to it. Improvement of Gate Design: By considering the flowability of the resin and the balance of forces during withdrawal, a gate design can be implemented that prevents die biting. Optimization of Molding Conditions: Optimizing molding conditions can make it less likely for resin to stick to the mold. For example, it is important to appropriately set molding conditions such as molding temperature, injection speed, injection pressure, and holding pressure. Mold Maintenance: Proper maintenance can prevent the occurrence of die biting. Effective measures include cleaning the surface, correcting gates and flash surfaces, and using air blow.
basic information
Common surface treatments used for molds include: 1. Plating 2. Anodizing 3. Fluororesin coating 4. Mirror finishing 5. Electrolytic polishing 6. DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) 7. TiN (Titanium Nitride) However, conventional surface treatments may not meet the desired functions such as strength and release properties, and improvements may not be achieved as expected. The technology that realizes the combination of "strength + anti-adhesion and slip properties comparable to fluororesin coating" is our original surface treatment 'BICOAT'. [Main Types of BICOAT(R)] ■ NYK-01 - A surface treatment that combines a nickel-based metal coating with fluororesin. ■ NOO-01 - A surface treatment that combines a chromium-based metal coating with fluororesin. ■ TYS-03 - A surface treatment that integrates fluororesin into a chemical conversion coating that reacts with iron ions in the metal substrate. ■ NYN-11 - A surface treatment that combines fluororesin with an alumina coating. ■ CTT-200 - A surface treatment that combines siloxane-based resin with a metal coating. *For more details, please click on "PDF Download" or feel free to contact us.
