Materion Performance Alloys has worked with MMT over the years providing technical content on a variety of mold material issues, including common mistakes with copper alloy usage and copper alloy classes. That education continues tomorrow, June 23 at 2pm EST when MoldMaking Technology hosts a webinar by Materion that will review the strengths and weaknesses of the copper alloys used in plastic molding today.
Topics will include: how copper alloys differ from steel in plastic molding, how copper alloys can improve the plastic molding process and characteristics of copper alloys versus steel.
