Due to new technologies and the development of aluminum formwork, especially for the design of injection molds, aluminum molds are also increasingly used in blow molds, R.I.M. molds, rubber molds, structural foam molds, and R.T.M. molds. Although it may not be suitable for all application areas, in fact, its use is becoming more and more common.

Everyone wants to be able to extend the production life of their molds, such as making molds from traditional tool steel with hard chrome or nickel metal plating, or more specialized engineering coatings, which prevent their surfaces from galling or galling. Corrosion, prompting its better demoulding. Since then, in pursuit of the same goal, aluminum molds have been adopted and a practical solution has been found.

In order to be able to produce decorative parts by injection molding, in addition to extending the service life of the mold, the manufacturer also wants the surface of the aluminum mold to maintain a certain degree of gloss, so it is recommended to use an electroless nickel spray process, because This method helps extend the life of the mold surface finish, making it relatively easy to produce decorative parts.
