Bronze Mold Inserts, any alternative materials?
Bronze Mold Inserts, any alternative materials?
(OP)
We currently use bronze inserts to hold our parts in place during injection. Vespel inserts were used in the past, but found to be brittle and damaged easily. Bronze has worked out well, but with increased production we need alternative material.
The most important characteristics, i think, are tensile strength and hardness. Basically, need material that will widthstand large forces without much deformation. Any other materials you may use in your own process are welcome suggestions.
(our process involves nylon 66-glass reinforced)
