1.Regular cleaning:
After each use, promptly clean away any residue on the mold surface, especially impurities and metal residue that may cause jamming or damage.
2.Anti-rust treatment:
The mold surface is susceptible to corrosion, so anti-rust treatment should be carried out regularly, using professional anti-corrosion coating or anti-rust oil.
3.Lubrication and maintenance:
Regularly lubricate moving parts such as the slider, guide pillar, and guide sleeve of the mold to ensure that the friction between the parts is reduced and the service life is extended.
Choose appropriate lubricant and avoid over-lubrication.
4.Periodic inspection:
Periodically inspect all parts of the mold, paying special attention to wearing parts such as nozzles, spray rods, mold cores, etc.
Pay attention to the working condition of the mold, detect abnormalities in time and take measures.
5.Temperature control:
Control the temperature during the die-casting process to avoid mold deformation or damage caused by excessive temperature.
Reasonably design the cooling system to ensure that the mold is heated evenly.
6.Operating specifications:
Operators should be trained to use molds according to correct operating procedures to avoid injuries caused by improper operations.
Avoid using excessive force or speed.
7.Timely fix:
When the mold is found to be damaged or worn, it should be repaired in time to prevent the problem from further expanding.
Regularly grind the mold to maintain its geometric accuracy.
8.Mold storage:
When the mold is not in use, it should be stored properly to prevent moisture, heat and pressure.
Use special storage racks or bins for safekeeping.
9.Proper use of production plans:
Reasonably arrange the production plan to avoid frequent replacement of molds and reduce the number of mold openings and closings.
10.Regular maintenance records:
Recording the maintenance status of the mold, including cleaning, lubrication, inspection, repair, etc., can help track the usage of the mold and develop a more effective maintenance plan.
By adopting these maintenance tips, you can effectively extend the service life of your die-casting mold, improve production efficiency, and reduce downtime.
