Aluminum plate has 5052, 6061, hard aluminum lY12, rust-proof aluminum lF5, etc.
Carbon steel domestic brands Q235, 08F, and 1018, 1012 and other brands,
Cast iron HT150, HT200, etc.;
Brass grade table H70H68H65H63H62, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. When the zinc content is less than 39%, zinc can be dissolved in copper to form a single phase a, called single-phase brass, which has good plasticity and is suitable for cold and hot press processing. When the zinc content is more than 39%, there is a single phase and a copper-zinc-based b solid solution, called duplex brass, b makes plasticity small and tensile strength increases, and is only suitable for hot pressure processing if it continues to increase zinc. The mass fraction is reduced, the tensile strength is reduced, the no-use code is expressed by “H + number”, H is brass, and the number is the mass fraction of copper. For example, H68 means copper with a copper content of 68% and a zinc content of 32%. For cast brass, the word “Z” is used before the code name. For example, ZH62 such as Zcuzn38 means that the zinc content is 38% and the balance is copper. Cast brass. H90, H80 single phase, golden yellow, so there is a total of gold, called plating, decorations, medals and so on. H68 and H59 are duplex brass and are widely used in structural parts such as bolts, nuts, washers, springs, etc. In general, duplex stainless steel for cold deformation processing uses duplex brass for hot deformation processing.

Metal processing technology is selected for use environment, cold rolled sheet, hot rolled sheet, surface galvanized, nickel plated, sandblasted, blackened, etc.
There are many plastic surface treatment (processing) processes, such as injection (painting), silk screen, pad printing, PVD, NCVM, IMD, IML;
The most used plastic processing technology does not do the above treatment, and the appearance texture is realized by the different biting specifications of the mold surface and the color of the plastic grain.
ABSPCPVCHIPS is an engineering thermoplastic material with a wide range of uses.
ABS is opaque and ivory-colored pellets, and its products can be colorful and have high gloss. The relative density of ABS is about 1.05, and the water absorption rate is low. ABS has good bonding with other materials.
Easy surface printing, coating and coating treatment. ABS has an oxygen index of 18 to 20 and is a flammable polymer. The flame is yellow, has black smoke, and emits a special cinnamon flavor.
Mechanical properties
ABS has excellent mechanical properties, excellent impact strength and can be used at extremely low temperatures. ABS has excellent wear resistance, good dimensional stability and oil resistance, and can be used for bearings under medium load and speed.
The creep resistance of ABS is larger than that of PSF and PC, but smaller than PA and POM. The bending strength and compressive strength of ABS are poor in plastics. The mechanical properties of ABS are greatly affected by temperature.
Thermal performance
The heat distortion temperature of ABS is 93~118 °C, and the product can be improved by about 10 °C after annealing. ABS can still exhibit a certain toughness at -40 ° C, and can be used in the temperature range of -40 to 100 ° C.
Environmental performance
ABS is not affected by water, inorganic salts, alkalis and various acids, but is soluble in ketones, aldehydes and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is subject to stress cracking due to erosion by glacial acetic acid and vegetable oil. ABS has poor weather resistance,
Degradation is easy under the action of ultraviolet light; after half an year outdoors, the impact strength is reduced by half.
Electrical performance
ABS has good electrical insulation and is hardly affected by temperature, humidity and frequency, and can be used in most environments.
ABS plastic processing properties
ABS, like PS, is a thermoplastic with excellent processing properties and can be processed by general processing methods.
ABS has better melt fluidity than PVC and PC, but is worse than PE, PA and PS, similar to POM and HIPS. The flow characteristics of ABS are non-Newtonian fluids; its melt viscosity is related to processing temperature and shear rate. , but more sensitive to the shear rate.
ABS has good thermal stability and is not prone to degradation. ABS has a high water absorption rate and should be dried before processing. The drying condition of general products is temperature 80~85 °C, time 2~4h;
The drying conditions for special requirements (such as electroplating) are temperature 70~80 °C, time 18~18h. ABS products are prone to internal stress during processing, and the internal stress can be tested by immersion in glacial acetic acid;
If the stress is too large and the product is absolutely prohibited from stress cracking, it should be annealed. The specific conditions are placed in a hot air circulating drying oven at 70~80 °C for 2~4h, and then cooled to room temperature.
Polycarbonate

Poor compatibility with other resins. Suitable for making small instrument parts, insulating transparent parts and impact resistant parts
Molding performance 1. Amorphous material, good thermal stability, wide forming temperature range and poor fluidity. Low moisture absorption, but sensitive to water, must be dried. The molding shrinkage rate is small, and it is prone to melt cracking and stress concentration. Therefore, the molding conditions should be strictly controlled, and the plastic parts must be annealed.
2. High melting temperature, high viscosity, more than 200g plastic parts, it is advisable to use a heated extension nozzle.
3. The cooling speed is fast, the mold casting system is based on the principle of coarse and short, and it is better to set the cold material well, the gate should be large, and the mold should be heated.
4. If the material temperature is too low, it will result in lack of material, the plastic parts will be dull, the material temperature will be too high, and the plastic parts will foam. When the mold temperature is low, the shrinkage rate, elongation, impact strength are high, and the bending, compressive and tensile strengths are low. When the mold temperature exceeds 120 degrees, the plastic parts are cooled slowly, and the mold is easily deformed.

Molding performance
1. Amorphous material, low moisture absorption, no need to dry fully, not easy to decompose, but large thermal expansion coefficient, easy to generate internal stress. Good fluidity, can be molded by screw or plunger injection machine.
2. It is advisable to use high material temperature, high mold temperature, low injection pressure and prolonged injection time to reduce internal stress and prevent shrinkage and deformation.
3. Various forms of gates can be used, and the gates are connected with the circular arc of the plastic parts to avoid damage to the plastic parts when the gates are removed. The drafting angle is large and the ejection is uniform. The plastic parts have uniform wall thickness, preferably without inserts. If the inserts should be preheated.
HIPS refers to high density PS.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Chemical and Physical Properties Rigid PVC is one of the most widely used plastic materials. PVC material is a non-crystalline material.
PVC materials are often added with stabilizers, lubricants, auxiliary processing agents, colorants, impact agents and other additives in actual use.
PVC materials are non-flammable, high strength, weather resistant and excellent geometric stability. PVC is highly resistant to oxidizing agents, reducing agents and strong acids.
However, it can be corroded by concentrated oxidizing acids such as concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, and is also not suitable for contact with aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons.
The melting temperature of PVC during processing is a very important process parameter. If this parameter is improper, it will lead to the problem of material decomposition. The flow characteristics of PVC are quite poor and the process range is narrow.
In particular, large molecular weight PVC materials are more difficult to process (this material usually incorporates a lubricant to improve flow characteristics), so small molecular weight PVC materials are usually used. The shrinkage rate of PVC is quite low, generally 0.2 to 0.6%.
