What are the advantages of synthetic stone over traditional workholding materials?

Compared to traditional tooling materials, synthetic stone has the following advantages:
-Good temperature performance: Traditional fixture materials such as aluminum, steel, and other metals are prone to deformation at high temperatures, while synthetic stone can withstand high temperatures of 350 ℃ in a short period of time and 260 ℃ continuously. In high-temperature processes such as reflow soldering and wave soldering, it can maintain dimensional stability, ensuring fixture accuracy and service life

-Excellent mechanical performance: Synthetic stone has high hardness and strength, excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, and can withstand frequent use of fixtures and jigs for a long time. At the same time, its good dimensional stability ensures that the fixture maintains accuracy during long-term use, ensuring consistent product quality

-Strong chemical stability: Compared to some metal materials that are easily corroded by acidic and alkaline chemicals, synthetic stone has good corrosion resistance to most chemicals and can maintain stable performance in production processes in different chemical environments, extending the service life of fixtures and jigs

-Excellent anti-static performance: In production processes such as electronic manufacturing that are sensitive to static electricity, the anti-static performance of synthetic stone can effectively prevent damage to electronic components caused by static electricity, reduce defects and failures caused by static electricity, and ensure product quality and production efficiency
-Good processing performance: Synthetic stone can be accurately processed into various shapes and sizes of fixtures and jigs through CNC and other mechanical processing methods, meeting the personalized needs of different production processes and products, with high processing accuracy, ensuring the assembly accuracy and usability of fixtures and jigs

-The cost advantage is obvious: while meeting the same performance requirements, the price of synthetic stone is usually lower than some high-performance metal materials such as titanium alloys, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of tooling and fixtures. At the same time, its long service life can also reduce the frequency of fixture replacement and maintenance costs, further saving production costs

-Outstanding environmental performance: Synthetic stone is made of over 95% natural stone powder and a small amount of polyester and binder, without radiation or harmful substances. It is environmentally friendly during use and disposal, and meets the environmental protection requirements of modern industrial production
