The advantages of synthetic stone for tooling fixtures are as follows:
-Excellent temperature performance: It can maintain stable performance in harsh environments with short-term exposure to 350 ℃ and continuous operation at 260 ℃, without issues such as substrate separation or deformation, and can meet high temperature process requirements such as wave soldering and reflow soldering
-Good mechanical performance: It has excellent dimensional stability and can maintain flatness during repeated substrate mounting processes. The substrate mounting fixture can be precision machined to ensure the accuracy and service life of the fixture
-Chemical stability: It has good corrosion resistance to chemicals such as acids, bases, and salts, and can be used for a long time in different chemical environments to ensure the reliability of the fixture
-Excellent anti-static performance: effectively avoiding the generation and accumulation of static electricity, preventing electronic component damage, welding defects and other problems caused by static electricity, and ensuring the quality of electronic products
-Good processing performance: Various shapes and sizes of fixtures can be made through CNC and other mechanical processing methods to meet different production needs, with high processing accuracy
-Low cost of use: Compared to some metal materials such as aluminum alloy, it has an advantage in price and a long service life, which can reduce the frequency and cost of fixture replacement
The main disadvantages of synthetic stone for tooling fixtures are:
-The material is brittle: it has high hardness but high brittleness, and is prone to cracking or fracture when subjected to significant external impact. During use and transportation, attention should be paid to protection
-Difficult to process: The material is hard, causing significant tool wear during processing, slow processing speed, relatively high processing costs, and high requirements for processing technology and equipment
-Moisture absorption: Although the water absorption rate is low, there is still a certain degree of moisture absorption. When used in high humidity environments, it may absorb moisture and affect performance and lifespan. Moisture prevention should be taken into account.
