Permanent mold-making is a
science... and an art
(Above)
All machining operations in the die shop can be performed on the
hardest, most heat-resistant, high-alloy die steels.

The die shop has the latest machine tools to accurately produce
complex molds. Tolerances such as ±.005 inch are common.

Precision castings require precision
tooling. Molds must be designed and built to withstand repeated
thermal cycling and still maintain their dimensions and surface
finish.
In the PIAD die shop, diemakers...
working with the most modern machine tools... produce the molds
required for high-quality cast parts.
This is accomplished through a
unique mold design and a careful selection of mold materials to
withstand severe demands. Working with heat-resistant die alloys,
craftsmen combine application-oriented design
|
experience with advanced die-making
techniques so that castings meet required specifications. Molds are
designed so that molten alloy flows into all the mold cavities under
gravity pressure. This casting method creates a part that is free of
piping, sink holes or voids... a sound, dense and durable casting,
which lowers the cost of your product.
The unique mold design provides a
precision tool at a moderate investment, with a one-time mold
charge. This is a big factor in making the PIAD process economically
feasible... even with relatively low quantities. |
