Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, if a mold in which the work surface is finished to a mirror surface by the above-mentioned grinding process is used, for example, plastic molding is actually performed, the surface of the resulting molded product may have "shading" in appearance. "
This unevenness is a defect in the appearance of the surface quality caused by the difference in the degree of light reflection at each part of the surface of the molded product, and is one of the main reasons for the deterioration of the appearance quality of the molded product.

Embodiment 1

[0041] P21 steel which is a standard steel type of AISI and SCM440 steel which is a standard steel type of JIS were prepared, and their abrasiveness was evaluated. These types of steels are materials that differ in surface properties after the processing (in other words, differ in abrasiveness) even when they are subjected to grinding processing under the same conditions at respective applicable normal prehardening hardnesses. P21 steel is generally considered to be a steel for molds with good abrasiveness. SCM440 steel is considered to be steel for molds with poor abrasiveness compared to P21 steel.

[0042] First, these steels were quenched and tempered to make them the normal pre-hardened hardness respectively. The P21 steel was adjusted to 40HRC, and the SCM440 steel was adjusted to 26HRC to obtain a sample with a size of 10×10×20mm. Next, grinding was performed on one plane of these samples under the conditions implemented in actual mold production. The details of the g...

Embodiment 2

[0051] An improved steel of SUS420J2 steel which is a JIS standard steel type and the above-mentioned P21 steel were prepared, and their abrasiveness was evaluated. First, quench and temper these steels with a size of 100×100×10mm, adjust the SUS420J2 improved steel to 30HRC, and P21 steel to adjust to 40HRC. Next, after dividing one plane (100×100 mm) of these samples into three regions A, B, and C of 50×30 mm with a scribe line, each region is subjected to grinding under the conditions implemented in actual mold making . The details of the grinding process are as follows. For the area A, grinding process was performed in the order of grinding wheel and sandpaper, and finally, finishing process was performed with #2000 sandpaper (the average particle diameter of the abrasive grains was about 10 μm). The remaining areas B and C are ground in the order of grinding wheel, sandpaper, and diamond paste. Area B is finished with #5000 diamond paste (the average grain size of the ab...

Abstract

The invention provides an abrasive evaluation method for mold steel and a mold. The evaluation method can, under optimal measuring conditions, predict surface properties of a molded product obtainer through a mold in the method of numerical values. The abrasive evaluation method of the mold steel comprises steps of using abrasive particles to perform abrasive machining on the surface of the mold steel, measuring the waviness of the machined surface, and thus performing evaluation of the abrasiveness of the mold steel. The measurement of the waviness is performed by a waviness curve obtained by setting a cut-off value [lambda]c to be a value which satisfies a relation that (average particle diameter of abrasive particles used in abrasive machining *10) < [lambda]c < (average width Wsm of a profile unit). Preferably the measurement of the waviness is performed by using an average line width Wc as an index. In addition, according to the abrasive evaluation method for molds, the measurement of the waviness is executed with respect to a work face of the mold after actual manufacture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the abrasiveness of a steel material used in the manufacture of a mold whose working surface is ground, by measuring the waviness of the ground surface. In addition, it relates to a method of evaluating the abrasiveness of a mold by measuring the waviness of the working surface of the mold, which is the ground surface of an actual mold whose working surface is ground. Background technique [0002] Molds that form products with high-quality surface properties, such as plastic products, require a mirror-finished surface for their working surfaces. For such a work surface, for example, a pre-hardened steel material whose hardness is adjusted in advance is prepared, the surface is cut into a predetermined shape, and then polished to a mirror surface. [0003] The above-mentioned grinding process is usually carried out in the final process of mold production. The grinding process is usually carried ...
