Three Criteria for Selecting Steel in Mold Base Construction
- The mold base must undergo a heat treatment process to increase its hardness and ensure higher rigidity.
- The cutting process can significantly affect the performance of the mold base. To extend tool life, ensure good machinability, and reduce surface roughness, it is essential to select steel with suitable cutting properties.
- The steel used in the mold base should be properly polished to achieve a smooth surface finish.
