Accelerated R&D and Application of New Materials Promote Mold Lightweighting and Performance Improvement
Driven by the trends of lightweighting and green manufacturing, the automotive mold industry is accelerating the R&D and application of new materials. New materials such as polymer composites, high thermal conductivity alloys, and ceramic matrix composites are gradually replacing traditional steel, enabling mold lightweighting. Battery tray molds using topology optimization technology reduce mold material usage by 30% while ensuring strength. The thermal deformation of ceramic matrix composite molds is only 1/5 of that of steel molds, making them suitable for high-temperature forming conditions. Meanwhile, the application of nano-coating technology improves the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of mold surfaces, extends mold service life, and reduces long-term usage costs for enterprises.
