The sealing of Mold Waterway Plug is crucial for the normal operation of the mold and the quality of the product. The following are some factors that affect the sealing of Mold Waterway Plug:
1. Plug material
Different materials have different effects on sealing. For example, rubber plugs have good elasticity and can fit tightly to the waterway wall, providing a good sealing effect. However, rubber materials may age with time and temperature changes, reducing the sealing performance. Metal plugs are usually strong and durable, but if the surface is not properly treated, they may rust and other problems, affecting the sealing. In addition, some special polymer materials are also used to make plugs. These materials may have better corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, but the cost is relatively high.
2. Processing accuracy
The processing accuracy of Mold Waterway Plug is directly related to its sealing. If the size of the plug does not match the size of the waterway hole, or the surface roughness is large, it will lead to poor sealing. Processing accuracy includes the dimensional parameters of the plug such as diameter, length, cylindricity, and the flatness and finish of the surface. High-precision processing can ensure a close fit between the plug and the waterway wall and improve the sealing performance.
3. Installation method
The correct installation method is crucial to ensure the sealing of the Mold Waterway Plug. If it is not installed properly, even a high-quality plug may not be able to perform a good sealing effect. For example, when installing a rubber plug, it is necessary to ensure that the plug is evenly compressed between the waterway walls, and there should be no local over-tightening or over-looseness. For metal plugs, sealants or gaskets may be required to enhance the sealing performance. In addition, the force during installation also needs to be appropriate. Excessive force may damage the plug or the waterway wall, and too little force may cause poor sealing.
4. Working environment
The working environment of the mold will also affect the sealing of the waterway plug. For example, if the mold works in a high temperature environment, the rubber plug may soften and deform, reducing the sealing performance. In a corrosive environment, the metal plug may be corroded, affecting the sealing effect. In addition, the mold may be subjected to vibration and impact during operation, which may also cause the plug to loosen and affect the sealing.
5. Use time
With the extension of use time, the sealing performance of Mold Waterway Plug may gradually decline. This is because the plug may be affected by factors such as wear, aging, and corrosion. Therefore, regular inspection and replacement of waterway plugs are important measures to ensure the sealing of the mold.
In short, there are many factors that affect the sealing of Mold Waterway Plug. Attention should be paid to the selection of plug material, ensuring processing accuracy, correct installation, consideration of working environment, and regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the mold and product quality.
