Light Weight Slab Forming Mold
Comparison Date for LIGHT WEIGHT MOLD (Aluminium/YH75) and CONVENTIONAL TYPE (Carbon Steel/S55C)
1.Light weight
Weight is approx. 1/3 than that of carbon steel.
Improved the safety. Shortened the time for installing / removing.
Material | Specific gravity |
YH75 | 2.82 |
S55C | 7.90 |
2.Excellent heat conductivity
Approx. 2 times than that of carbon steel.
Substantially shortened a shot cycle at the time of forming.
Material | Heat conductivity |
YH75 | 0.31 |
S55C | 0.14 |
3.High hardness
Nearly equal to carbon steel.
4.Excellent anti-corrosion
It is not almost corroded by resin, a kind of rubber, plasticizer, antistatic agent, mold-releasing agent, etc.
5.High fatigue strength
Approx. 3 times than that of carbon steel.
As the material for press mold, plastic mold, etc., it is the most suitable for the use where repeated load is imposed.
Material | Fatigue strength (N/m㎡) |
YH75 | 160 |
S55C | 60 |
