2018 Technology Review and Sourcing Guide: Mold Materials
MoldMaking Technology’s annual Technology Review and Sourcing Guide is an accurate, comprehensive, easy-to-read and easy-to-use use guide for researching today’s technology, equipment, products and services. The year’s latest moldmaking product developments within mold engineering/design, build and maintenance/repair are broken down into 10 sections, including mold materials.
Uddeholm says that Mirrax ESR possesses a unique combination of qualities across large cross sections to meet the increasing demands of plastic mold tools.
TCI Precision Metals says its custom machine-ready blanks provide the high-value process of finish machining by eliminating material prep and other time-consuming processes.
Diehl Tool Steel now offers Hitachi Metals America’s SLD-i cold work tool steel, which exhibits better wear and toughness when used for forming and trim sections than D2.
