Features: Molds are the basic process equipment in industrial production. With the advancement of science and technology and the demands of market competition, industrial production has placed requirements on molds for high quality, high efficiency, high durability, and low cost. Precise and efficient molds rely on advanced mold manufacturing technology, and mold surface treatment and surface finishing are crucial aspects of this process. This book is divided into two parts. The first part, Mold Surface Treatment, analyzes the service conditions and failure modes of molds, proposing and providing a detailed introduction to advanced techniques such as surface chemical heat treatment, vapor deposition, electroplating and chemical plating, thermal spraying, laser surface treatment, ion implantation, and electron beam strengthening. The second part, Mold Surface Finishing, sequentially elaborates on the relevant content of electrical discharge machining, electrochemical machining, rapid prototyping and rapid mold manufacturing, graphic etching, and polishing processing. This book is rich in content, with not only vertical connections between knowledge points but also horizontal comparisons. It also provides relevant examples for each process technology. This book is suitable for engineering technicians engaged in mold surface treatment and surface finishing, as well as faculty and students of mold-related majors in universities and colleges for reference.
