1. What is cross fitting mould?

Cross fitting mould is an x shaped cavity in a mold used to produce metal parts with a core pin. The X shape cavity in a Cross Fitting Mould provides good fluidity properties to cast thin-walled sections, which can be challenging to produce using any other type of cavity because the molten metal will not have the same level of support as a core pin. A cross-fitting mould is typically used to cast delicate parts with thin, intricate features. The number of arms in the X is usually two or four, depending on part geometry and alloy is poured into the cavity.

2. Why cross fitting mould is beneficial for businesses?

Cross Fitting Mould is beneficial for businesses as it allows them to reduce the pre-production time of a part by almost 50% compared to other ways of prototyping. This can have significant economic benefits in cash flow, labor costs, and production investment.

3. How can we relate cross fitting mould to cross pipe fitting mould and cross tee fitting mould?

Cross-fitting mould is a type of pipe fitting mould. Cross-fitting mould is almost similar to cross pipe fitting mould and cross tee fitting mould. Cross pipe fitting mould and cross tee fitting mould also allow molten metal to cool in an X-shaped cavity rather than a round one, making it easier for gases and impurities to escape.

Go4mould also offers the different sizes and thicknesses for cross fitting mould such as 1 inch, ½ inches, 2 inches, 7/8 inches (sizes), and 20mm, 40mm, 110mm and 220mm (thickness). Moreover, you can also get your customized size and design as per your requirements.

4. Discuss the applications of cross tee fitting mould?

Cross tee fitting mould are typically used to cast lightweight parts with delicate, intricate features. A cross tee fitting mould can produce construction alloys, sports equipment, and automotive components made of zinc alloys.

5. Enlist the significant features of cross pipe fitting mould?

Cross pipe fitting mould is easy to disassemble and reassemble the following post-production. They are most suitable for high volume manufacturers with large volumes (5,000+ pcs) per year.

6.List the successful implementation of cross pipe fitting mould?

Successful implementation of cross pipe fitting mould is in the automotive industry, for example, fluid manifolds and brake ducts. Another example is the construction industry, where they are used to cast metal support structures and corrosion-resistant parts made from aluminum and zinc alloys.

7. Describe the process of cross fitting injection moulding?

The Cross pipe fitting mould process is similar to other single cavity injection molds. Still, it may require additional fixturing and setup time depending on the complexity of the mold. Injection molding parameters such as flow rate, hold pressure, shot size, and injection speed is still set from a machine controller or an operator using a machine control panel.

The step by step process of cross pipe fitting moulding is as follows:

1. Loading the pre-production part in a loading unit
2. Pre-heating chamber of hydraulic press
3. Injecting molten metal in a cross pipe fitting mould is carried out using an automated system and then cooled by air or water depending on the alloy being used. The cooling steps typically take about one minute.
4. Once the metal has cooled, the mold opens, and the part is ejected onto a moving conveyor belt by the hydraulic system. The pre-production parts are packed in boxes before shipping them for pre-production testing.

8. How does Go4mould carry the quality control process of cross pipe fitting mould?

For the quality control testing process in cross pipe fitting mould, we carry out the below checks:

• Visual inspection of the pre-production parts for physical appearance and dimensional accuracy.
• Mechanical testing to confirm part features are rigid enough to withstand normal use conditions.
• Qualification test pieces are typically sent to customers to verify that the alloy and surface finish meets their requirements.

9. What is the maintenance procedure of cross pipe fitting mould?

To ensure optimal performance, it is important to follow recommended guidelines for maintaining the tooling, such as:

1. Regular cleaning of cross pipe mould before and after each cycle, especially after exposure to a dirty environment.
2. Replace all broken, worn, and missing parts to avoid tooling failure during production. Repairing replaced parts or damaged areas of the cross pipe fitting mold should promptly prevent significant defects.
3. Keep the area around the machine clean and free from water to avoid corrosion, oxidation, and other damage to the dies and the machine.
4. Use oil lubricant on all moving parts regularly.

10. What is the future scope for cross pipe fitting mould?

Demand for cross pipe fittings is expected to rise with the world’s growing demand for automobiles. The use of alloy materials like zinc, aluminum, aluminum alloy, and steel will also develop due to their high recyclability rate (more than 90%), increasing global demand for alloy material.
