I have a problem with my existing molds in our company. This is a special case due this mold is made from aluminum and they are used to make special component of our product. These molds have special construction as well due the thickness of material and its durability to resist high pressure and extreme treatment of process.
Now almost half of these molds are damage in the cavity area due the process and this is a serious problem for us due the lower productivity. The damage cavity already got a good solution but we still have to prevent the same case we decide to find the best coating.
Some suppliers have a good experience with chrome trim but they don’t have experience with the mold coating, so they worry they will make us disappointed and we faced a big stone ahead. The main problem is a design of cavity which has so many small textures and could be difficult to be repaired when it’s broken.
Until right now we still no found the match supplier which can handle this so the possibility to improve the coating quality still got no result yet and the last information from my friend that he has reference a supplier which could handle my problem but he said that the lead time will be longer than ordinary treatment. Actually for us the lead time can be discussed as long as the treatment is really has good result, so I will wait our meeting next week to get final agreement from both of us. This is really a big homework for me and I hope I can finish this soon.
