Creating molds is both expensive and absolutely critical for many metal industries. Qualified testing programs protect your investment and production levels by providing data to help you get the best performance from your molds and other materials and help you create a productivity prediction with greater peace of mind.
EUROLAB offers steel mold qualification services to various sectors. It includes various capabilities including mold steel qualification, impact testing, heat treatment and metallography.
Among the many reasons for reducing mold life, the two main contributing factors are poor material quality and incorrect heat treatment. The element uses a series of tests to confirm the quality of the mold steel plate and rods.
In qualifying commercially heat treated molds, EUROLAB also determines the Charpy impact strength, hardness, and microstructure degree of test coupons fitted with mold inserts and heat treated.
EUROLAB performs H207 mold steel testing according to North American Casting Alliance (NADCA) Specification # 2003-2010, Ford Specification AMTD-DC9999 and GM's Worldwide Specification DC-1-13.
EUROLAB is one of the few commercial laboratories that perform this test.
