The most common technique for manufacturing plastic items in bulk for various applications is injection molding. It can generate simple to complicated components with little waste and is inexpensive and effective. Nonetheless, designing plastic components is a challenging task that takes into account various application-specific aspects. It is vital to design the plastic mold considering [...]
Moldmakers have been reluctant until now to use high conductivity copper alloys in their molds due to the perceived cost of copper-based alloys compared with conventional tool steels. […]
Cooling products—couplings, baffle blades, bubbler tubes, etc.—have traditionally been made with brass materials. In the case of baffle blades; however, brass has significant drawbacks that make it difficult to achieve maximum heat transfer. A new material—polypthalamide—offers a dramatic improvement in the performance and features for baffle blades used in plastic injection molds. […]
