In the mold manufacturing process, the main process used by Package Mould is machining, where the shape to be generated is cut into the required size on a lathe or milling machine. It is difficult to cut very hard steel, so use softer steel and then harden or nitrate it.
During the hardening process, the heat treatment that the metal receives may relieve the stress present in the metal block and may cause slight deformation.
The use of normalized steel can reduce this, but as the processing progresses, very precise work is required to perform many annealing treatments. Most metals can be machined. For simple circles, a lathe is the most useful tool.
An improvement in processing is die sinking, where a negative film is used, and the zoom tool will follow the negative film to generate the appropriate shape. The machine using the transistorized pulse generator produces very fast sparks, the electrode wear is extremely small, and the surface finish is high.
Electrodes are relatively easy and cheap to manufacture, and graphite and copper are the materials of choice. These mold making methods involve cutting metal from the mold. Electroforming is a process in which metal is electrodeposited on an inverted model of the shape to be formed, and then a fusible casting alloy is used to support the resulting metal shell. The cooling coil of soft copper tubing can be incorporated into the alloy backing. In metal spraying, a low melting point alloy is flame sprayed onto the positive electrode model, and similar alloys are pasted on the formed shell. Since the alloys used in both processes are softer than required, the formwork is installed in the steel pillow, and the locking force is absorbed on the hardened steel pad incorporated in the pillow.
