The study focused on two critical areas: core deflection and tool wear. Results showed that CraftAlloy™ core pins exhibited significantly lower deflection and wear, leading to improved dimensional stability and extended tool life. This translates to higher-quality parts, reduced quality failures, and decreased downtime for manufacturers. These findings have significant commercial implications for manufacturers seeking to optimize their plastic injection molding processes. By adopting tungsten carbide core pins, manufacturers can potentially improve part quality, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of tooling for plastic injection molding.
