As we all know, when high-temperature alloy die-casting companies maintain molds, most of the costs are spent on cleaning the molds, while other costs such as disassembly, debugging, assembly, etc. may seem troublesome, but are actually only a small part of it. Cleaning the mold can ensure the accuracy of the mold and increase its life, so knowing how to clean the mold is very important for high-temperature alloy die-casting implants.
Generally speaking, die-casting molds encounter problems such as water, working environment, and storage environment during usage. These cause the mold to be oxidized and produce rust at spots. There are also residual substances from some lubricants, cleaning agents, and rust inhibitors.
If there is dirt on the mold, there will be great hidden dangers. It will cause excessive burrs, unstable dimensions, high defective rate and other hazards to high-temperature alloy die-casting parts, and affect the delivery time and reputation of high-temperature alloy die-casting implants.
Electrolytic cleaning is the most beneficial cleaning method for molds. Through the combination of point solution and ultrasonic waves, it can thoroughly clean the dirt on the surface of the die-casting mold without causing any damage to the mold. It is the best cleaning method, but the cost of machine slightly higher. For high temperatures where there are many molds’ openings Alloy die casting factory is more suitable
Manual cleaning is time consuming and also need highly intensive labor as a result only simple cleaning can be done. Dead corners, blind holes, pores, and sun marks cannot be cleaned. If done improperly, the mold surface may be damaged.
Laser cleaning is generally used on professional molds and is very suitable for molds that do not require high precision. Although the operation is simple, the labor intensity of the operator is still very high. There are blocking spots on the mold surface, corners, and blind holes that are difficult to clean.
There is also a method of using dry ice cleaning, which is more suitable for large flat molds. The mold surface has clamping spots, corners, and blind holes that are easy to clean. However, the storage of dry ice is a big problem, and the noise during cleaning is also very loud. Protective masks, glasses and other protective tools must be worn during cleaning.
