Material Overview
SKD61 Mold Steel for Custom Mold Making
SKD61 mold steel is commonly used in custom mold making because it offers good heat resistance, wear resistance, toughness, and stable tooling performance after proper heat treatment. It is suitable for die casting molds, plastic injection molds, mold cavities, cores, inserts, sliders, and other mold components.
At Yinuomold, SKD61 mold steel can be used for mold making projects based on customer drawings, part structure, production volume, mold design requirements, and tooling performance expectations.
For die casting mold projects, SKD61 is often used for mold cavities, cores, and key mold components that need to withstand heat, pressure, and repeated production cycles.
For plastic injection mold projects, SKD61 can also be selected for mold components that require higher strength, wear resistance, or better long-term tooling stability.
The final material choice depends on the product drawing, mold structure, production quantity, heat treatment requirements, surface finish, and customer project requirements.
