What is ISO 12165 - Injection moulding terms and symbols about?
Die casting is a method of casting metal by using intense force. The raw material used in this process is metal and it is melted and forced into a steel mould. Once the material has hardened, it is cast out from the machine. ISO 12165 specifies the terms generally in use for components of compression and injection moulds and diecasting dies. The function of these components is shown in Figure 1 to Figure 30.
ISO 12165 introduces coherent terms in professional terminology, particularly with regard to the use in CAD (Computer Aided Drafting). Various symbols are specified for simplified representation on technical drawings.
