Guru HM,


By soft mold, are you referring to a silicone mold? Or to the more colloquial term "soft tooling"?

Hi Jim,


Regardyour question "what is soft mold". Please find my opinion as below for your reference.


The soft moldis the cavity and core steel hardness is under HRC 35


The soft mold longevity is from 1000 shots to 500,000 shots. It depends on the steel, alunimium is 1000 shots, S50C is 20,000 shots, P20 is 500,000 shots.


The hard moldis the cavity and core steel harness is above HRC45


The steel need be heat treament. the steel is H13, S136, 420SS, 1.2344, 8407,S7 etc. The mold lingevity is above 1,000,000 shots. Hope these information can help you. more information about injection molds please visit http://www.g-mold.com
