Precision carving knife molds are tools specifically used in the fields of handicrafts, carving, and mold making. The specifications usually include factors such as the type of knife mold, knife mold material, knife mold size, and knife mold hardness. The following will provide a detailed explanation of these specifications.
1、 Knife mold type
1. Flat tube type
A flat cylindrical knife mold refers to a knife mold composed of a cylindrical head and a handle shaped tail. This type of knife mold tool has a thick shape and is generally used to depict thick lines and surface textures, making it suitable for carving or mold making work.
2. Pointed tube type
A sharp tube type knife mold refers to a knife mold composed of a conical head, a slender central handle, and a handle shaped tail. This type of knife mold has a slender shape and is more suitable for depicting delicate lines and special geometric shapes, such as depicting some small eyes, bird beaks, etc.
3. Long shuttle type
Long shuttle type knife mold refers to a knife mold composed of a slender head and a long handle. This type of knife mold tool has a slender shape and is suitable for depicting detailed curves and details. It is often used to make European style sculptures and decorations.
2、 Knife mold material
1. Aluminum
Aluminum knife molds are a common material characterized by light weight, soft material, and suitable for materials with low cutting force and low steel properties. However, their disadvantages are low strength and short service life.
2. Carbon steel
Carbon steel knife molds have high strength and low vibration force, making them a very reliable manufacturing material. However, due to its short lifespan, it requires frequent polishing to improve its service life.
3. Stainless steel
Stainless steel has the characteristics of high strength and strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in fields with high precision requirements for knife molds, such as high-end handicrafts and high-precision mold manufacturing.
4. Ceramics
Ceramic knife mold is the latest technological achievement, which is characterized by high hardness, good anti-corrosion performance, and long life, suitable for making high-precision engraving and mold.
3、 Die size
The dimensions of the knife mold include the length of the blade, the length of the handle, and the length of the knife socket. Different knife mold sizes will be suitable for different carving or mold making workplaces.
4、 Die hardness
The hardness of the knife mold refers to the hardness of the knife mold material. Generally speaking, the harder the material, the more favorable it is for producing high-precision engraving and molds. The unit of hardness for cutting dies is generally Rockwell (HRC). It is generally believed that hardness within the range of 50-60 HRC often has good performance. However, the optimal range also varies depending on the type of blade and the usage environment.
Summary:
The specifications of precision carving knife molds mainly include factors such as knife mold type, knife mold material, knife mold size, knife mold hardness, etc. When selecting a suitable knife mold, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as actual usage, material type, and production difficulty to achieve optimal results.
