Common materials used to make sow molds include cast iron and cast steel. The following is a detailed introduction and its scope of application:
Cast iron: including gray cast iron and ductile iron. Gray cast iron has a lower cost and has certain strength and wear resistance. It is suitable for general aluminum ingot casting scenarios where mold precision and life requirements are not extremely high. Ductile iron has better toughness and strength, can withstand certain thermal and mechanical stresses, and can be used to manufacture medium-capacity sow molds, suitable for casting metals such as aluminum and zinc.
Cast steel: such as 1028 cast steel, 8630 cast steel, etc. Cast steel has higher strength, toughness and heat resistance, and can withstand the thermal shock and pressure brought by high-temperature molten metal. 1028 cast steel is often used to manufacture large-capacity sow molds, suitable for large-scale casting of metals such as aluminum ingots. Due to its good comprehensive performance, 8630 cast steel can be used in occasions with high requirements for mold strength and heat resistance, such as the casting of some high-precision alloy ingots.
Alloy steel: It is a kind of steel that has been specially alloyed and has excellent strength, wear resistance and heat resistance. It is suitable for high-precision and high-demand alloy steel ingot casting. It is widely used in metallurgy, machinery, aviation, shipbuilding and other industries. It can be used to produce alloy steel ingots required for automobile parts, tools, mechanical parts, etc.
Hot working die steel: such as H13 steel. It has good heat resistance, thermal fatigue resistance and wear resistance, and can maintain stable performance in high temperature environment. It is suitable for scenes with high casting temperature and strict requirements on mold thermal performance, such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy casting, etc. It can effectively reduce the occurrence of thermal fatigue cracks in the mold during repeated thermal cycles and extend the service life of the mold.
