What are the types of plastic mold materials?

There are many types of plastic mold materials, which can be divided into different types according to different classification standards. Here are five common categories:

(1) Classification according to usage characteristics:
According to the characteristics of use, plastic mold materials can be divided into corrosion resistant mold materials, transparent mold materials, easy to release mold materials, easy to process mold materials, wear resistant mold materials.

(2) Classification according to manufacturing process:
According to the manufacturing process, plastic mold materials can be divided into casting mold materials, forging mold materials, stamping mold materials, injection mold materials, etc.

(3) Classification according to material properties:
According to the material properties, plastic mold materials can be divided into metal mold materials, non-metallic mold materials and composite mold materials. Metal mold materials mainly include iron base alloy, nickel base alloy, copper base alloy, etc. Non-metal mold materials mainly include plastic, rubber, ceramics, etc.; Composite materials Mold materials are mainly metal and non-metal composite materials.

(4) Classification according to melting point:
According to the melting point, plastic mold materials can be divided into low melting point mold materials and high melting point mold materials. Low melting point mold materials mainly include zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, etc. High melting point mold materials are mainly steel, stainless steel, superalloy and so on.

(5) Classification by composition:
According to the composition, plastic mold materials can be divided into single material mold and combined material mold. Single-material molds are mainly made of the same material; Composite material molds are mainly made of two or more different materials.

It should be noted that there is also a cross between different classification methods, and a mold material may have the characteristics of multiple classification methods at the same time. At the same time, with the development of science and technology, new plastic mold materials are also emerging, and their classification methods are constantly expanding and updating.
