Material management is essential to quality control
The Quality of the Die Casting Material Determines the Quality of Die Casting Products. Posted on : June 1, 2022 By GREFEE Material management is essential to quality control and qualified product manufacturing. Die casting materials include the main material (aluminum alloy ingot) and some auxiliary materials. The quality of the aluminum alloy die casting raw material determines the quality of aluminum alloy castings. Management of main material 1. receipt of aluminum alloy ingot Based on the requirements of the air content…
Sandblasting is Essential to deal with Post-Treatment
Sandblasting is Essential to Deal with Surface Treatment Posted on : May18, 2022 By GREFEE Sandblasting is essential to deal with post-treatment, am can be used to clean the residual on parts after heat treatment, such as oxidized skin, residual salts, etc. Surface strengthening can enhance the fatigue strength of the part. Sandblasting is also helpful to correct thin and long parts plus the deformation of thin-wall parts. Definition of Sandblasting Sandblasting is driven by the squeezed air to form a…
Advantages and Disadvantages of Hot Runner Molds
Advantages and Disadvantages of hot runner in injectoin mold Posted on : May14, 2022 By GREFEE Cold runner: refers to the area between the mold entrance and gate of the product. Plastic remains in the flow state with the injection pressure and the thermal amount inside the runner. Runners as a part of the molding material but not products’ so we need to consider the filling effect in designing molds and also seek out ways to save material by shortening and…
Find the appropriate anodic oxidation
Find the appropriate Oxidation treatment for your aluminum alloy parts. Posted on : May 9, 2022 By GREFEE Anodic oxidation is one of the most common surface treatment methods for CNC aluminum parts, which accounts for a big share of the market. This processing suits aluminum parts manufactured by various techniques, such as CNC machining, die casting, and sheet metal forming. Introduction of anodic oxidation Anodic oxidation is processing that transfers the metal surface into the oxide film through an electrolytic…
Injection molding part tolerance is vital in assembling
Injection Molding Part Tolerance is Vital in Assembling Posted on : May 10, 2022 By GREFEE Many plastic products are made from injection molding due to their high production efficiency and low cost. Compared to other parts, the tolerance also can be neglected during production. Unqualified tolerance leads to difficulties in assembling. This must be avoided because it is not only time loss but also money loss. Today, we will talk about controlling the tolerance in injection molding with high quality…
Considerations of the sheet metal parts design
Considerations of the Sheet Metal Parts Design Posted on : May 5, 2022 By GREFEE Sheet metal is widely used in industries like electronic appliances， telecommunication, automotive industry, and medical devices due to its lightweight, high strength, electric conductivity (can be used for EMC), low cost, excellent properties, and mass production. Sheet metal parts are an indispensable part of many products and can be found in computer cases, mechanical connectors， etc. Since many products contain sheet metal parts, their design and…
