Introduce a guide for choosing Aluminum
2024 A good, general-purpose alloy suitable for structural foam and blow molding. It is slightly more expensive than 6000 series due to a higher copper content. This alloy has acceptable corrosion performance for short-run tools. […]
How to choose and use Tool Steel Sleeves?
The basics of making ejector sleeves when using tool steel do require specific steps in manufacturing procedures as well as heat treatment steps that assure the maximum attainable life and performance possible. Even the maximum attainable life is often far less than expected with a heat treated and precision manufactured component. […]
