How Surface Nitriding Treatment Improves LPDC Casting Mold Durability
Surface nitriding treatment has become a standard surface reinforcement process for low pressure die casting mold, effectively upgrading mold surface performance and extending service life in long-term aluminum casting production.
Industrial surface treatment test data indicates that professional nitriding processing increases mold surface hardness by 15% to 20% on the premise of maintaining internal mold toughness, perfectly adapting to high-temperature casting environments.
Custom low pressure die casting mold without nitriding treatment suffers from rapid oxidation and abrasion. In continuous A356 aluminum alloy casting production, unprocessed molds show 42% faster surface wear speed.
Wheel casting mold with standard nitriding forms a dense anti-oxidation layer on the cavity surface, isolating high-temperature molten aluminum corrosion and reducing surface defect adhesion.
High durability LPDC die for mass production adopts low-temperature plasma nitriding technology, avoiding structural deformation caused by high-temperature surface reinforcement processing.
The nitriding layer with a thickness of 0.15-0.25mm can effectively resist repeated demoulding friction. Molds with qualified nitriding treatment reduce repair frequency by 39% annually.
Automotive casting tooling for complex structural parts is prone to edge wear; nitriding reinforcement improves edge impact resistance and avoids local mold failure in batch production.
Foundry tooling after regular secondary nitriding maintenance every 5,000 shots can maintain stable surface performance throughout the whole service cycle.
CPC counter pressure die casting mold working under high pressure requires stricter nitriding precision, with uniform layer thickness ensuring consistent high-pressure wear resistance.
xinfeng adopts precise segmented nitriding technology for different mold working areas, maximizing surface durability while retaining the original mold structural toughness.
