Metal molds are essential components in the manufacturing industry. They involve using different presses and specialized tools mounted on these presses to form metal parts into the desired shapes or components through applied pressure. Collectively, these specialized tools are known as metal molds.
The longevity of metal molds depends on several factors such as mold design, material selection, heat treatment, surface treatments, machining, grinding, wire cutting techniques, stamping equipment, materials, processes, lubrication, and maintenance practices. Among the causes of mold failure, approximately 25% can be attributed to improper mold structures, 45% to incorrect heat treatment, 10% to technical issues, and the remaining 20% to equipment-related problems, sliding issues, and other factors. After installing the metal stamping parts, it's crucial to maintain them properly to avoid rust and corrosion. In regular usage, they should be gently operated to prevent harsh impacts that could lead to damage. Below are some tips on preventing metal stamping parts from sustaining damage:
1. Ensure that the hardware fittings comply with current national standards and align with the specifications of plastic steel doors and windows.
2. For sliding windows wider than 1 meter or double-glazed doors and windows, double pulleys or double-wheel systems are recommended.
3. Sliding hinges should not be made of aluminum but should instead be crafted from stainless steel for durability.
4. When securing hardware with screws, a metal backing plate must be used. The backing plate should be at least twice the thickness of the screw’s penetration depth. Avoid fastening directly onto plastic profiles or using non-metallic backings.
5. Install hardware accessories last. Door and window locks, handles, and similar components should be fitted after the window sashes are placed into the frames to ensure precise alignment and smooth operation.
6. Once metal stamping parts are installed, proper maintenance is vital to prevent rust and corrosion. Regularly operate them gently to avoid rough handling. The current trend in silent operation is the use of nylon wheels. These not only glide silently but also offer a smoother, lighter operation compared to traditional pulleys. Their lifespan matches or exceeds that of conventional pulleys. To ensure smooth door and window operations, investing in high-quality pulleys is key. Low-quality pulleys often appear rough, lack smoothness, feel stiff, and are smaller and lighter.
