The materials used in houseware mould production influence both the mould’s durability and the quality of the finished products. Steel and aluminum are two primary materials selected for their strength and resistance to wear.
Steel moulds are known for their hardness and can endure high production volumes. They are often used for creating houseware items that require precise detailing. Although steel moulds may take longer to manufacture, they provide consistent results over extended periods.
Aluminum moulds, on the other hand, are lightweight and easier to machine. They are suitable for producing simpler houseware items or for shorter production runs. While not as durable as steel, aluminum moulds offer faster production cycles due to better heat conduction.
In some cases, a combination of materials may be used to balance durability with cost efficiency. The choice of material depends on factors such as the complexity of the product, production volume, and required finish quality.
Proper selection and maintenance of mould materials ensure long-term performance and the ability to produce high-quality household goods.
