2023-12-29
Silicone mold is a common manufacturing method, the material of silicone mold determines the service life of the mold and the quality of silicone products. Therefore, it is very important to choose the suitable silicone mould steel. The following are the common types of silicone mold steel, and the matters that need attention when choosing silicone mold materials. 1. P20 steel P20 steel is the most widely used material in silicone mold at present, which has the advantages of high strength, good toughness, good wear resistance and easy processing. Especially suitable for making large molds. In general, when making large silicone molds, it is necessary to choose P20 steel with high hardness and suitable for large and medium-sized molds. 
2. 718 steel 718 steel is also a common steel in silicone molds, with high hardness, high wear resistance, high strength and so on. Suitable for the production of large, high precision silicone products. Product requirements also affect the choice of mould steel. 
3. NAK80 steel NAK80 steel is a high-quality steel, with high hardness, high toughness, good wear resistance and other characteristics. Suitable for making large and medium-sized molds and high-precision silicone products. For high-precision and high-demand silicone products, NAK80 should be selected. The selection of silicone mould steel needs to be comprehensively considered according to the production process, product requirements and economic factors. In the selection of silicone mold steel, we should pay attention to not only look at the hardness, toughness and other indicators, but also need to choose the appropriate type of steel according to the specific situation to ensure the quality and service life of the silicone mold.
