Project Overview

Project Background

A B2B customer needed a custom zinc alloy die casting mold for an electronic component used in a small device assembly. The part required a stable shape, clear mounting positions, practical surface quality, and repeatable production after mold trial.

The project involved drawing review, DFM evaluation, die casting mold making, mold fitting, trial support, sample checking, and mold modification based on trial feedback.

Client Needs

The customer needed a mold solution that could support stable zinc alloy die casting production. Key requirements included accurate mounting holes, stable part dimensions, controlled flash, smooth assembly areas, and practical surface quality for later finishing or assembly.

The customer also required clear communication during mold trial and modification to reduce production risks before batch manufacturing.

Project Details

Zinc Alloy Die Casting Mold Project for Electronic Component

This project involved custom die casting mold making for a zinc alloy electronic component. The customer needed a stable mold solution to support trial production and future batch manufacturing.

Yinuomold supported the project from drawing review and DFM evaluation to mold manufacturing, fitting, trial support, sample inspection, and mold modification.

The part required stable dimensions, clear mounting positions, controlled flash, and practical surface quality. During the project, we focused on mold structure, parting line design, gate position, ejector layout, and trial feedback to improve the forming result.

This case shows how a die casting mold project is not only about machining a mold. It also requires practical review, trial testing, inspection, and adjustment before the part can move toward stable production.

Manufacturing Process

01

Drawing Review

Review the customer drawing, part structure, key dimensions, assembly areas, and basic die casting feasibility.

02

DFM Evaluation

Evaluate draft angle, wall thickness, parting line, gate position, ejector layout, and possible forming risks before mold making.

03

Die Casting Mold Manufacturing

Manufacture the die casting mold, including mold base machining, cavity and core machining, inserts, fitting, and assembly.

04

Mold Trial

Conduct mold trial to check forming condition, flash, shrinkage, filling, surface condition, and basic sample quality.

05

Sample Inspection

Inspect trial samples for appearance, key dimensions, hole positions, assembly areas, and visible casting issues.

06

Mold Modification

Modify the mold according to trial results and customer feedback before confirming the next production stage.

Secondary Processes

Deburring

Remove burrs and sharp edges after trial casting to improve handling safety and part appearance.

CNC Post-Machining

Used for selected holes, threads, or assembly positions that require higher accuracy after die casting.

Surface Finishing Support

Surface finishing can be arranged based on the final appearance, protection, or assembly requirements.

Technical Challenges

The main challenge was to balance mold structure, part forming quality, and dimensional stability for a small zinc alloy electronic component. The part included mounting holes, thin wall areas, and assembly-related features, so the mold needed proper parting line design, gate position, ejector layout, and trial adjustment.

During mold trial, attention was paid to flash control, shrinkage, filling condition, and key dimensions. Mold modification and sample checking helped improve production stability before batch manufacturing.
