Automotive mold manufacturing process

Firt. Preliminary preparation

1. Mold design: According to customer needs, mold design, including 3D modeling, drawing, etc.

2. Material procurement: According to the mold design requirements, purchase the required materials, such as steel, copper, etc.

3. Equipment commissioning: Ensure that all equipment runs normally and is properly debugged.

Second, processing technology

1. Steel cutting: The steel is cut according to the design requirements.

2. Roughing: The use of lathes, milling machines and other equipment to rough the billet.

3. Heat treatment: Heat treatment of the roughed billet to achieve the required hardness and toughness.

4. Precision machining: The use of EDM wire cutting machine, CNC machining center and other equipment for precision machining of heat-treated parts. 5. Assembly and debugging: Assemble all the parts, and debug and correct.

Third, surface treatment

1. Polishing treatment: the surface of the mold is polished to make its surface smoothness meet the requirements.

2. Chrome plating treatment: the surface of the mold is plated with a layer of chromium to improve its corrosion resistance and hardness.

Fourth, quality testing

1. Appearance inspection: Check whether the appearance of the mold meets the design requirements.

2. Size detection: Use coordinate measuring instrument and other equipment to test the mold size.

3. Durability test: carry out durability test on the mold to ensure that it can meet the requirements of use.

Five. Packaging and shipment

1. Packaging: the mold will be packaged to prevent damage during transportation.

2. Shipment: Send the packaged mold to the customer.

Six. After-sales service

1. Installation and commissioning: Provide installation and commissioning services to customers to ensure that the mold can be used normally.

2. Maintenance: To provide customers with maintenance services to extend the life of the mold.

Summary: The automotive mold manufacturing process needs to go through many links such as preliminary preparation, processing technology, surface treatment, quality testing, packaging and shipping and after-sales service. Among them, the processing technology is the most critical link in the whole process, which needs to go through multiple steps such as steel cutting, roughing, heat treatment, precision machining and assembly and debugging. In the quality inspection process, the appearance and size are tested, and the durability is tested. Finally, the mold needs to be packaged and shipped, and provide after-sales service.
