How should precision casting molds be used and maintained?

Firstly, before using precision casting molds, it is necessary to carefully understand the structure of the mold, how to open the mold, how to position the core and active blocks inside, and the installation sequence; Secondly, during the use of the mold, try to avoid scratches and bumps, especially on the core, live blocks, positioning pins, guide pillars, and parting surfaces.

Furthermore, during wax production, compressed air and wooden tools should be used as much as possible to clean the molds. When pressing the molds, precision casting molds should be placed directly below the press plate. The locking mechanism of the molds should be balanced, and any damage to the molds should be repaired in a timely manner, and the wax size should be checked for correctness.

Finally, precision casting mold maintenance is also an important aspect of mold management. After the use of the mold, the wax stains on it must be immediately cleaned and wiped with a dry cloth. If it is not used for a long time, the mold positioning and guidance system and the forming system should be wiped with oil and stored in the mold warehouse for unified management.

Of course, precision casting mold management also includes account establishment, mold placement (distinguishing between commonly used and infrequent, major and light), placement location, mold usage and maintenance records, etc. In short, the management of a mold library can truly reflect the management status of an enterprise and cannot be underestimated.
