Metal moulds

The raw materials of your business, priced every day.

Mould-making companies operate in a highly competitive sector that is sensitive to cost fluctuations. The production of moulds, in fact, requires a wide range of raw materials, mainly ferrous and non-ferrous metals, the market prices of which influence production costs and, consequently, the competitiveness of companies.

FT Mercati with its Metal Moulds Production Raw Materials Quotations service, is the LME Licensed Data Vendor, ideal for all companies in the industry that want to constantly monitor the market and adopt effective pricing and procurement strategies.

Main materials for metal mould production

The main raw materials used for the production of metal moulds are:

Alloy steels: these are the most widely used materials for the production of moulds, due to their high mechanical strength and wear resistance; they are divided into: Hot-rolled steels (for hot stamping of metals), Cold-rolled steels (suitable for cold stamping), High-speed steels (for the production of complex moulds and for high-speed machining).
Cast iron: used for the production of large moulds due to its good melt fluidity and low cost.
Copper-based alloys: they offer excellent thermal conductivity, making them ideal for moulding plastics.
Nickel-based alloys: have high corrosion and heat resistance, used for specific applications.

A correct analysis of quotations allows these production companies to optimise purchases, plan production, and better assess the feasibility of projects. With FT Mercati, these companies have multi-platform, constant and up-to-date access to the prices of raw materials strategically relevant to their business.
