Mold & Die Manufacturing
Technical Challenges
Mold and die production requires machining pre-hardened tool steels, stainless die steels, and alloy steels (ranging from 45 HRC to over 65 HRC). Maintaining extreme profile accuracy, avoiding thermal cracking, and achieving mirror-finish surface quality without extensive manual polishing are constant operational hurdles.
ZWH Technology Solutions & Value
- High-Hardness CutterDesigned with micro-grain carbide substrates and high-thermal-stability coatings, our specialized ball-nose and corner-radius end mills allow stable high-speed trochoidal milling and direct hard finishing of materials up to 68 HRC.
- Superior Surface IntegrityMicro-geometry optimization ensures minimal tool deflection and vibration-free cutting, reducing surface roughness (Rₐ < 0.2 μm) and cutting post-processing manual polishing time by up to 60%.
- Drilling Deep Ejector Pin HolesOur high-pressure internal-coolant solid carbide drills provide efficient chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling, preventing chip clogging and drill breakage in tough mold bases.
