I received some good news from Mr. Zhang this morning. He told me that he’s now using your NAK80 for his water cups, and the results are excellent—no more fogging, and the products are crystal clear. Mr. Zhang manufactures injection-molded nylon water cups. He was previously using S136 mold steel, which costs over 40 yuan…

 A Douyin user messaged me asking: “I’ve used DC53, CALDIE, and SKH55 for the mandrel in round tube punching. After producing about 5,000 pieces, it broke. What tool steel should I use?” This type of mandrel is used for punching tubular parts. It extends into the tube but is used as a cutting edge, with…

Last night, Mr. Ke, a long-time client I hadn’t been in touch with for years, called to ask about stamping 0.5mm-thick titanium sheets with some stretching involved. He currently uses ASP60 powdered high-speed steel, but after producing just a few thousand parts, burrs start to form, and the die becomes coated with a lot of…

Yesterday, I spoke with a client who constantly felt like he was running a small workshop—as if anyone would look down on him because of his small scale. He came across as lacking in confidence. We must never think this way. To put it bluntly, those of us who run factories are experts in our…

Stretching one product will cause scratches, polishing the mold will make it shiny again, and stretching again will cause scratches. What is the reason for this and what die steel should be used to solve it? Stretching a product with a stretching mold can…

A netizen left a message below the video asking, ‘I am currently using a core pulling board in the plastic film for my PC, which is only 2.4mm thick and prone to eccentricity. Do you have any good material recommendations?’? A 2.4mm thick sheet is prone to deviation, which is caused by insufficient strength. You…

The use of S136 mold steel for injection molding PVC is a material selection error. The mold is bound to rust, and electroplating is also useless. A netizen asked, “I am making PVC hard material, and the S136 I used to use didn’t work. The mold rusted and pitted, and it rusted while polishing. It…

It’s better not to do some business well, and for some people, it’s better to let them continue to hit the southern wall. Mr. Jiang said that 2mm stainless steel punching material will cause PM23 to collapse. Now, using the four copied 856 die steel you mentioned, it will wear out after 10000 punches. The punch will…
