A portable, high speed process allows molders to make minor surface defect repairs in mold cavities without removing molds from the press.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plastics molders, operating both captive and job shops, are frequently plagued with downtime due to repairs that must be made on damaged or worn molds. Conventional machine shop practices commonly employed to repair plastics molds share a serious drawback \u2013 they all require that the mold be removed to carry out the needed repair. SIFCO Process\u00ae of selective plating will allow the repair of plastics molds in-situ. This process reduces downtime substantially. Typical repairs include damaged cavities, worn gate areas, and parting lines that cause flashing of molded parts.<\/p>\n

High-Speed Selective Plating<\/strong>
\nThe process<\/a> deposits metals with\u00a0excellent adhesion to all classes of steel, aluminum, and beryllium-copper\u00a0molds, as well as to chrome\u00a0or electroless-nickel plated mold\u00a0cavities.<\/p>\n

In the following series of blogs<\/a>, you\u2019ll learn the various applications that selective plating is suitable for, including:<\/p>\n
