Main application scope
SKD61 is mainly used in mold manufacturing under high-temperature working conditions, and its applications include:
- Plastic molds: SKD61 is commonly used to produce injection molding molds, compression molding molds and blow molding molds, etc., to cope with the plastic molding process under high temperature and high pressure.
- Die casting molds: Due to its good heat resistance and wear resistance, SKD61 is suitable for manufacturing die casting molds for metals such as zinc alloy and aluminum alloy.
- Hot work dies: In the field of hot work dies, SKD61 is often used to manufacture hot work dies, hot work die cores and die inserts, etc., for metal forming and processing at high temperatures.
- Plastic injection molding: SKD61 is also commonly used in the manufacture of plastic injection molding molds, such as mold cores and mold cavities of plastic injection molding molds.
- Stamping dies: SKD61 can also be used to manufacture stamping dies, such as punches, die plates and die inserts, to cope with the high temperature and high pressure processing of stamped metals.
In summary, SKD61 is widely used in the mold manufacturing field due to its excellent heat resistance, wear resistance and machinability.
