The service life of cemented carbide molds refers to the total number of parts that can be processed by the mold while ensuring the quality of product parts. It includes the life after multiple grinding of the working surface and the replacement of wearing parts, which refers to the natural life of the mold if no accident occurs, that is, mold life = one life of the working surface x number of grinding times x wearing parts The design life of the mold is the production batch size, type or the total number of mold parts that the mold is suitable for, which is clearly specified in the mold design stage.

The service life of cemented carbide molds is related to the mold type and structure. It is a comprehensive reflection of cemented carbide mold material technology, mold design and manufacturing technology, mold heat treatment technology, and mold use and maintenance levels.

As the saying goes, “Nothing can be made without rules.” Many things in the world are born from their own unique “rules” – molds. These things are usually called “products”. Simply put, a mold is a mold, and products are manufactured using this carbide mold.

The role of molds in modern production is irreplaceable. As long as there is mass production, molds are inseparable. A mold is a production tool that uses a specific structure and a certain method to shape materials into industrial products or parts with certain shape and size requirements. In layman’s terms, a mold is a tool that turns materials into a specific shape and size. The tongs used in daily life to make dumplings and the boxes used in the refrigerator to make ice cubes are all included. There are also sayings that molds are called “type” and “mold”. The so-called “type” means prototype; “module” means pattern and mold. In ancient times, it was also called “Fan”, which means model or paradigm.

In industrial production, carbide molds are used as tools to make metal or non-metallic materials into parts or products of the desired shape through pressure. Parts made by molding are usually called “parts”. Molds are widely used in industrial production. The use of cemented carbide molds to produce parts has a series of advantages such as high production efficiency, material saving, low production costs, and guaranteed quality. It is an important means and process development direction of contemporary industrial production.
