Exterior Shell Upper Cover Injection Mold

Key Features & Highlights

1. Premium 738H Mold Steel (HRC35-40)

738H is a widely used pre-hardened mold steel known for its excellent machinability, uniform hardness, and good polishability. With a hardness range of HRC35-40, it offers the ideal balance of wear resistance and toughness for medium-volume production of PC parts:
  • High dimensional stability: Resists deformation under PC’s high-temperature molding conditions

  • Uniform surface quality: Consistent hardness across the cavity ensures even texture finish

  • Low maintenance requirements: Pre-hardened steel eliminates the need for post-machining heat treatment, reducing risk of warpage

2. Matte Navy Exterior Finish

The mold is precisely textured to produce a deep, uniform matte navy surface on the PC upper cover:
  • Consistent color and texture: Optimized surface treatment ensures no uneven gloss or color variation

  • Premium appearance: Matte finish hides minor molding defects while providing a sleek, professional look

  • Scratch resistance: Textured surface improves resistance to light scratches during assembly and use

3. PC Material Molding Optimization

The mold is designed specifically for the unique characteristics of PC material:
  • Flow path optimization: Ensures uniform melt distribution in the thin-wall upper cover design

  • Shrinkage control: Precisely compensated shrinkage rates eliminate warpage and dimensional deviation

  • Stress reduction: Optimized cooling channels minimize internal stress, preventing post-molding deformation

4. 1*1 Cavity Precision Design

The single-cavity structure offers key advantages for this application:
  • Focused precision: Dedicated tooling ensures the highest possible dimensional accuracy for the upper cover

  • Flexible process control: Parameters can be fine-tuned without affecting other cavities, ensuring perfect surface quality

  • Cost-effective for medium volumes: Avoids over-engineering while maintaining quality standards


Mold Steel Performance: 738H HRC35-40

738H mold steel is a reliable choice for this PC upper cover mold, offering:
  • Excellent polishability: Can achieve consistent matte or semi-gloss finishes required for exterior parts

  • Uniform hardness: Pre-hardened to HRC35-40 throughout the block, ensuring consistent performance

  • Good wear resistance: Withstands repeated PC molding cycles without significant surface degradation

  • Low risk of defects: Pre-hardened steel reduces the chance of post-treatment warpage or cracking


PC Material & Matte Navy Finish

Polycarbonate (PC) is ideal for this upper cover application due to its impact resistance, dimensional stability, and ability to hold color well. The mold’s matte texture, combined with the navy-colored PC resin, creates a durable, premium exterior:
  • Color consistency: Optimized flow paths prevent color streaking in the deep navy resin

  • Surface durability: Matte texture reduces the visibility of fingerprints and minor scratches

  • Assembly compatibility: Dimensional stability ensures a perfect fit with mating components


Application Scenarios

This mold is suitable for producing upper cover shells used in a variety of products:
  • Consumer electronic devices (routers, modems, smart home hubs)

  • Small home appliances (kitchen gadgets, personal care devices)

  • Communication equipment

  • Industrial control panels


Customization Capabilities

We offer comprehensive customization to meet your specific product requirements:
  • Surface finish adjustment: Modify texture depth for different matte/satin/gloss levels

  • Runner system upgrade: Convert to hot runner for reduced material waste and faster cycles

  • Steel grade upgrade: Switch to higher-hardness steels (e.g., 1.2344) for extended mold life

  • Dimensional adjustments: Fine-tune cavity dimensions for precise assembly tolerances


Quality Control & Inspection

Each mold undergoes rigorous testing to ensure performance:
  • CMM dimensional verification: Confirms cavity dimensions are within ±0.03mm tolerance

  • Surface texture inspection: Optical checks ensure uniform matte finish across the entire cavity

  • Trial molding with PC resin: Verifies melt flow, shrinkage control, and color consistency

  • Hardness testing: Confirms uniform HRC35-40 hardness across critical mold surfaces


Why Choose Us

  • PC molding expertise: Extensive experience with polycarbonate materials and exterior part finishes

  • Reliable 738H steel tooling: Consistent quality and performance for medium-volume production

  • Precision-focused single-cavity design: Ideal for applications requiring the highest surface and dimensional standards

FAQ

Q: Why use 738H steel for this mold?
A: 738H is pre-hardened to HRC35-40, offering a balance of machinability, polishability, and wear resistance ideal for PC exterior parts. It eliminates the risk of post-treatment warpage, ensuring consistent surface quality.
Q: How is the matte navy finish achieved?
A: The mold cavity is treated with a uniform matte texture, which is then replicated by the PC resin during molding. Combined with navy-colored PC material, this creates a consistent, durable matte navy appearance.
Q: What is the typical lead time for this mold?
A: Standard lead time is 25–35 days, including design, machining, texturing, and trial molding. Expedited options are available for urgent projects.
