The Existing Problems in China Domestic Mold Material Market
September.01.2010

Mold materials has a wide range, from the general carbon structural steel, alloy structural steel, carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel, high-speed tool steel, stainless steel, maraging steel to carbide, insoluble alloy, high-temperature alloys, non-ferrous metals can be chosen, which are mainly alloy tool steel mold steel. With the development of China's mold industry, higher requirement need for quantity, quality, variety and performance of mold material, and the mold materials market also has a rapid development. For example: Mega Mould and Demark Blow Mold www.mega-machinery.com www.demark-group.com Mega Mould and Demark Blow Mold

The domestic trial production of die materials lagged behind the demand of mold industry, mainly due to the follows facts:

1- Sales channel is not open and smooth.

2- Black round bar material is plenty, while the flat, fined, pre-hardened materials and products standard parts are lack. 80% of the die steel market in China is black round material, so the bag making machine customers have to reforge or refine the material, which caused low utilization of material and the long production cycle, even cannot meet the plastic valve needs of the slitting machine manufacturing mold.

3- Common-quality mold steel material is plenty, while high-quality ones are lack. And there are considerable part of the HQ mold steel needs go through the vacuum refining and electro-slag remelting. Some foreign cip companies require all the mold steel need electro-slag remelting as long as it’s cross-section is over 150mm in order to ensure high purity, high-density, pvc fitting high tropism, but in our country the die steel through the ESR only hold a small share.
