Basic Technology And Characteristics Of Casting Mold

Mould is an important basic process equipment for manufacturing industry. People pay more and more attention to the revitalization and development of my country's mould industry. Casting mold is an important basic industry in the national economy. It involves automobiles, industry, machinery, energy, aerospace, information and daily necessities, ranging from the generator impeller of the Three Gorges Power Station, medium to automobile engine parts, and small to gold Silver jewelry, artwork, etc., are all products directly produced by casting molds. It can be said that casting molds are inseparable from people's modern life.

The efficiency, quality, and ability of product production are determined to a large extent by the level of molds. Molds are based on product quality. Therefore, the technological content and technological level of the mold industry are important signs that reflect the level of manufacturing. Directly affect national productivity. Products made with molds have the following main characteristics: Good identity, low energy consumption, and high complexity.

Contemporary my country’s economy is developing under the trend of economicization. First, the domestic automobile industry has developed at a high speed and has good prospects. Most of the auto parts are cast products, so a large number of markets and orders are provided for casting mold companies; With the development of my country’s manufacturing industry and the improvement of the level of science and technology, it can gradually reach the level of foreign countries. This makes it optimistic about China’s mold manufacturing and gradually transfer to my country, and the trend of mold exports is also obvious; in addition, the development of technology and The pace of people's life is accelerating, especially the booming development of the automobile industry in recent years, which has brought a large number of orders and development opportunities to foundry mold companies, and the domestic market demand has surged. Therefore, the overall development prospects of my country's mold market are bright. my country will not only become a major mold manufacturing country, but also gradually become a mold manufacturing power.

The mold industry is a relatively basic industry, and its product diversification characteristics are significant. Most molds are produced in single-piece small batches, and they are specific products for specific users. Therefore, the manufacturing process is not reproducible. Enterprise management It's also more complicated. Compared with general molds, casting molds have their own characteristics, that is, in casting molds, a product is often produced by several or more than a dozen sets of molds to produce the desired casting product. The collaboration is stronger than that of ordinary molds, including mold design, manufacturing process and production and use links. Unstable orders, rapid delivery, frequent unexpected tasks, high turnover of employees, and poor project repetitiveness are common in foundry mold companies, resulting in poor project evaluation, chaotic task assignment, and controllable project nodes. Poor performance has led to serious mold delivery delays and enterprise benefits that have not reached the expected value. With the intensification of market competition, the time nodes of OEMs' products are increasingly compressed, and upstream companies also require a significant reduction in the time of casting mold companies. The chaotic phenomenon of project management in foundry mold enterprises has an increasing trend.

The proportion of small and medium-sized enterprises in the mold industry is very high. There are only a few large-scale mold companies in my country, and most of them are small and medium-sized companies. Only Heli mold companies have an output value of over 100 million yuan. Especially in Zhejiang, there are many mold companies with family workshops, mainly in Huangyan, Zhejiang and Ningbo. The quality of employees and the management level of these companies cannot keep up with the marketization and socialization of modern enterprises, which makes production efficiency low. Problems such as prolonged production cycle and poor delivery capacity on time have not been able to meet market demand. All of these have restricted the development of small and medium-sized mold companies, and have even posed an existential threat to them. For large-scale mold companies, there are also huge management problems. Due to the complex personnel, numerous equipment, complex projects, and various contradictions in production management, the company’s production efficiency is low and the mold delivery cycle is long. , The high internal consumption of the enterprise and the high production cost have seriously reduced the market competitiveness of the enterprise.
