Bohler M340 Die Steel Mold Core Pins with High Precision and Nitriding Treatment for Plastic Tooling

Mold Core Pins are essential components in plastic molding and die casting applications. These pins are fixed within plastic molds to create specific shapes in molded or cast parts. Unlike ejector pins that push finished parts out of molds, core pins remain stationary during the molding process.

Manufacturers often machine core pins as separate elements and integrate them into either the A-side or B-side of the mold as required. In aluminum molds, core pins create tall, thin cores that would be too fragile if machined directly from the bulk aluminum. In some casting applications, core pins also assist with part ejection.

Various pin types exist within mold bases and die casting molds, each designed with specific materials, hardness levels, and coatings for different applications. Selection factors include:

• Draft and texture of sidewalls
• Depth of walls and ribs affecting part adhesion
• Resin characteristics influencing pin placement and size
• Material stickiness requiring appropriate release force
• Softer resins necessitating more or larger pins to prevent damage

In high-volume plastic injection molding, cycle time directly impacts profitability. Heat removal from the mold represents a critical limiting factor. Parts with deep internal features require long mold core pins, where plastic contraction during cooling occurs around the pin. Cooling rates depend on heat transfer through the core pin material, making thermal conductivity a crucial property.
