On July 8, 2026, the ASSAB 2026 High-Pressure Die Casting Summit was held in Dongguan. Our company, as one of the representative enterprises in the mold manufacturing industry, was honored to be invited to this industry event.

The summit brought together die-casting experts, mold manufacturers, automotive parts suppliers, and materials science professionals from across the country. As a globally leading supplier of tool and mold steels, ASSAB invited several senior technical experts to share insights on key topics including material selection for high-pressure die-casting molds, heat treatment process optimization, failure analysis, and service life improvement.

Technical Takeaways: From Mold Design to Production Operations

At the design level, experts shared new approaches to mold structure design under the trend of integrated die casting. As new energy vehicle components move toward larger and more integrated forms, mold design requires more refined considerations in thermal balance, stress distribution, and gating systems.

In material application, ASSAB's technical experts provided a systematic overview of how different steel grades apply to various die-casting scenarios, with particular emphasis on the specific requirements of large molds in terms of toughness, heat-checking resistance, and high-temperature strength. This knowledge will help us make more precise material recommendations that better match actual production needs in the future.

Industry Dialogue: In-Depth Conversations with Peers

The forum served not only as a classroom for technical learning but also as a platform for industry exchange.

During coffee breaks and lunch, our team engaged in in-depth conversations with leaders from die-casting companies and fellow mold makers. We exchanged views on topics such as the direction of transformation for mold enterprises in the current market environment, the rising quality requirements from overseas clients, and how to address price competition through technological upgrades. These face-to-face discussions reaffirmed our belief: regardless of external changes, solid technical capability and reliable product quality remain the foundation of customer trust.

Putting Knowledge into Action

For us, attending this forum was not just about learning—it was also an opportunity for benchmarking and self-reflection.

We are continuously improving our mold design standards and production management systems. The insights and practical methods gained from the forum will help us further optimize our entire process—from design review and material procurement to machining and trial delivery. In particular, we aim to translate this knowledge into tangible competitiveness in new energy vehicle component molds, complex-structure molds, and other specialized segments.

We have always believed that mold making is a craft that requires continuous refinement, as well as a technical field that demands constant learning. Looking ahead, we will continue to actively participate in industry exchanges, stay sensitive to new technologies, new processes, and new materials, and serve our global clients with greater expertise.
