Enhancing injection molding with copper alloys – a comprehensive guide
In the competitive field of injection molding, the longevity of molding equipment is crucial for operational efficiency and cost management. Molds are exposed to high temperatures, mechanical stress, and corrosive materials, which can degrade their quality over time. By enhancing mold longevity with copper alloys, companies can reduce the frequency of costly replacements, ensure consistent product quality, and minimize downtime.
The primary objective of this technical paper is to provide a comprehensive guide to enhancing your injection molding processes, highlighting the critical role of materials such as AMPCO® alloys in achieving these strategic goals
It covers the following topics:
- The role of copper alloys in mold longevity
- Beyond thermal conductivity
- Copper alloys vs. stainless steel
- Environmental benefits of copper recycling
- The role of AMPCO METAL in injection molding
