Abstract
A mold-tool system (10), comprising: a first component (12) defining a first passageway (13) configured to convey, in use, a flowable molding material; a second component (14) defining a second passageway (15) configured to: (i) be in fluid communication with the first passageway (13), and (ii) convey, in use, the flowable molding material. A wear-resistant assembly (16) contacts, at least in part, the first component (12) and the second component (14).
Claims12
A mold-tool system (10), comprising:
- a first component (12) defining a first passageway (13) configured to convey, in use, a flowable molding material;
- a second component (14) defining a second passageway (15) configured to:
- (i) be in fluid communication with the first passageway (13), and
- (ii) convey, in use, the flowable molding material;
- and
- a wear-resistant assembly (16) contacting, at least in part, the first component (12) and the second component (14), the wear-resistant assembly configured to limit direct sliding-seal contact between the first component and the second component, and the wear-resistant assembly (16) includes:
- a first wear-resistant assembly (106) received, at least in part, by the first component (12);
- and
- a second wear-resistant assembly (108) received, at least in part, by the second component (14).

A method of operating a mold-tool system (10), the method comprising:
- conveying a flowable molding material along a first passageway (13) defined by a first component (12);
- conveying a flowable molding material along a second passageway (15) defined by a second component (14);
- fluidly communicating the first passageway (13) with the second passageway (15);
- and
- contacting a wear-resistant assembly (16) with the first component (12) and the second component (14), the wear-resistant assembly configured to limit direct sliding-seal contact between the first component and the second component, and wherein the wear-resistant assembly (16) includes:
- a first wear-resistant assembly (106) received, at least in part, by the first component (12);
- and
- a second wear-resistant assembly (108) received, at least in part, by the second component (14).
