Mold wear is an inevitable aspect of the molding process, but by selecting the right material, applying appropriate surface treatments, optimizing lubrication and cooling systems, and designing molds with wear reduction in mind, manufacturers can extend the lifespan of their molds and improve overall production efficiency. Understanding how different materials behave under stress and wear conditions is key to minimizing the negative effects of mold wear, and the strategies outlined above offer practical solutions for addressing this common challenge in the industry.
