Evaluation of Process Wear of Selected Tool Steels for Injection Molds

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this contribution is to test the suitability of selected types of tool steels used for manufacturing of injection molds. Experiments were realized by the simulation of adhesive wear using laboratory equipment Amsler, which allows the testing of grinding pairs. Evaluated grinding pairs consisted of tool steel and two types of roundels. Tested polymeric materials were based on pure PA6 and PBT filled with short glass fibers, prepared by mixing process in twin screw extruder. The wear of five types of tool steels were evaluated by weight decrease before and after the experiment, while changing the friction coefficient of grinding pairs, material of grinding pairs and sensing the roughness of steel before and after wear.
