Materials for Injection Mold
Tool Steel
Before starting low- or high-volume injection molding production, high-tolerance CNC-machined tooling is required. Tool steel is one of the most commonly used materials for this purpose. Types: P20, H13, S7, NAK80, S136, S136H, 718, 718H, 738
Stainless Steel
Injection molds are made from steel and stainless steel, which are costly to produce. As a result, they are generally used for large-scale production. Common types include: 420, NAK80, S136, 316L, 316, 301, 303, and 304.
Aluminum
Aluminum molds are significantly more affordable than traditional steel and carbon steel injection molds. They provide faster cycle times and quicker turnaround, making them ideal for market testing. Common types include: 6061, 5052, and 7075.

FAQs
Several factors influence mold design:
Part Design and Geometry: The shape, size, and complexity of the part being molded greatly affect the mold design. Complex geometries, intricate details, and thin walls often require specialized mold features such as additional cooling channels or advanced gating systems.
Material Selection: The type of plastic significantly impacts mold design by affecting cooling rates, shrinkage, and flow behavior. For example, polypropylene exhibits higher shrinkage, while polycarbonate demands higher mold temperatures. Additionally, the mold material must resist wear caused by abrasive or corrosive plastics.
Tolerances and Precision Requirements: High-precision parts need molds with tighter tolerances, which can complicate the design and increase manufacturing costs. Mold designers must ensure dimensional accuracy and consistency, especially for industries like automotive and medical.
Ejection System: The ejection method affects both mold design and cycle time. Systems such as ejector pins, air blasts, or stripper plates must be carefully incorporated to remove the part without causing damage.
Gate Design: The gate’s location and type (direct, pin, or edge gate) control how molten plastic enters the mold. Gate design influences the finished part’s quality by affecting flow patterns, surface finish, and cycle time.
Undercuts and Parting Lines: Parts with undercuts or complex shapes may require side actions or lifters to release the part without damage. These features add complexity and increase the cost of the mold.
Injection molding is a complex process that consists of four main stages to produce high-quality plastic parts:
Clamping: Before the material is injected, the two halves of the mold are firmly clamped together by the injection molding machine. This step is essential to keep the mold closed during injection, preventing molten plastic from leaking out.
Injection: Molten plastic is injected into the securely clamped mold under high pressure. This phase ensures the plastic fills the entire mold cavity completely while maintaining pressure to pack the material thoroughly.
Cooling: Once the mold is filled, the plastic begins to cool and solidify inside the mold cavities. Proper cooling control is necessary to avoid defects and to ensure the part retains accurate dimensions and desired mechanical properties.
Ejection: After the plastic has cooled and hardened, the mold opens, and an ejection system pushes the finished part out of the mold. The machine then prepares for the next cycle by reclamping the mold for the following part.
