COST OF TOOLING
This factor depends on the intended production run, and the overall lifespan that you’re hoping to get out of your part. For shorter runs, the lower upfront costs of aluminium moulds can lead to a lower overall cost per part. If you plan to use your mould for higher volumes, however, you’ll see your investment in a steel mould pay off.
Heating and cooling times
Aluminium moulds have a higher rate of heat dissipation and can heat and cool much more quickly than steel moulds — typically up to 7 times. Cooling time, especially, makes up a significant portion of overall cycle time in Injection Moulding.
Shrink, warp and other defects
Aluminium means the mould is better able to approach uniform heating and cooling times — and do so more quickly — which provides an advantage in decreasing the number of defective and rejected parts. Non-uniform heating and cooling are among the biggest factors in defects such as sink marks, voids and burn marks.
Ease of modification and repair
Damaged or deformed steel moulds can be very difficult and costly to repair, due to the extreme hardness of the material. In such cases, a new mould will likely be required. Aluminium moulds are much more receptive to repair and, as a softer material, can be more easily modified in cases where production errors may have occurred.
Detailed features
When extremely fine, detailed features are required (e.g. thin, non-uniform walls, less rounded angles and tighter, narrower areas of the mould cavity), steel moulds will often provide better results than aluminium.
WHAT IS INJECTION MOULDING?
Injection Moulding is a formative manufacturing technology, meaning that material is formed from an amorphous shape into a fixed shape defined by a mould tool. Almost every plastic part created today is created by Injection Moulding, as this process allows identical parts to be created in huge numbers, in a short space of time, and at very low cost per part.
The Injection Moulding process:
#1 A mould cavity defines the shape of the part.
#2 Material (melted plastic) is injected under pressure into the cavity.
#3 When the plastic cools it solidifies to take the form defined by the mould.
#4 The part is ejected, and the process repeats from step 2.
