Scientific daily maintenance of casting molds effectively delays aging failure, stabilizes casting quality and maximizes H13 steel mold service life.
Daily mold cleaning must remove residual aluminum slag and exhaust groove deposits, avoiding gas blockage and sticky mold accumulation.
Mold surface anti-rust spraying is required after daily shutdown, protecting nitriding layer and polishing surface from oxidation corrosion.
Cooling water channel dredging is implemented every 3 days to remove scale, ensuring stable heat dissipation efficiency and balanced temperature field.
Mold locking force and sealing performance inspection is conducted daily for LPDC and CPC molds to prevent pressure leakage defects.
Surface micro-crack inspection is carried out every 10,000 cycles to eliminate potential thermal fatigue failure risks in advance.
Standard maintenance reduces mold unexpected failure rate by 50% and extends comprehensive service life by 15%.
Aluminum wheel molds require strict daily dimensional calibration to ensure long-term rim forming accuracy consistency.
EV structural part molds focus on thin-wall edge wear inspection and timely minor repair polishing to avoid dimensional deviation.
High-temperature lubricant spraying is standardized before each production shift to reduce molten aluminum impact and adhesion wear.
Maintenance records are archived daily to track mold cycle status and predict replacement cycle accurately.
Casting mold is a high-value core production equipment for foundry enterprises, and standardized daily maintenance is the key to maintaining long-term stable performance. H13 hot-work steel molds work in high-temperature and alternating cold-hot environments for a long time, and minor daily wear and dirt accumulation will gradually evolve into major defects such as sticky mold, thermal cracks and unbalanced cooling. Daily cleaning of exhaust grooves and mold surfaces ensures unobstructed gas discharge and smooth casting surface. Regular cooling channel dredging avoids scale-induced local overheating and thermal deformation. Targeted inspection and maintenance for high-pressure LPDC/CPC molds, wheel molds and EV thin-wall molds solve differentiated wear problems. Standard lubrication and anti-rust protection delay surface aging and protect precision polishing and nitriding layers. Complete maintenance record management realizes full-life cycle monitoring of molds, helping enterprises arrange mold maintenance and replacement plans reasonably, reduce unexpected shutdown losses, and stabilize long-term mass production yield and efficiency.
