Plating treatment of the mold has various merits.
Here are some of its key benefits:
(1) Improved wear resistance
By plating, a metal layer is formed on the surface of the mold. This metal layer is typically
Very resistant to friction and wear. Therefore, the life of the mold is extended
It can reduce damage caused by repeated use and friction.
(2) Improved corrosion resistance
Plating protects the mold surface from corrosion and oxidation.
This improves the resistance to the corrosiveness of the environment and materials that the mold contacts
The mold can be protected for a long period of time.
(3) Improved surface finish:
Plating improves the luster and appearance of the mold surface. In addition, a specific plating treatment
(e.g. chrome plating) can give a beautiful mirror finish to the transfer surface, depending on the material
of the resin molded product You can give.
(4) Simplification of maintenance
Plating makes the surface of the mold smoother and more wear-resistant.
This makes maintenance and cleaning of the mold easier.
With these advantages, the plating treatment of the mold extends the life of the mold and improves product quality
It can bring various advantages such as simplification of maintenance.
We have not only injection molds but also carbon fiber (CFRP) press molds for plating prototypes. The CFRP flat plate molded with this mold has a very glossy product surface.
