The core plug is usually a thin metal cup that is press-fitted into a cast hole, but can also be made of rubber or other materials. In some high performance engines, the core plug is a large diameter cast metal threaded pipe plug. Core plugs are often a source of leakage due to corrosion caused by cooling system water. Therefore, it is necessary to use a good antifreeze plug.
freeze plugs are mainly formed by stamping metal or non-metal sheet materials with the help of the pressure of the press through the stamping die. It mainly has the following characteristics:

⑴ The parts are light in weight and good in rigidity.

⑵ high dimensional accuracy.

⑶ good surface quality, smooth and beautiful appearance.


Copper washer are refined from high-precision, high-hardness sheet materials, usually used in precision molds or precision hardware... After heat treatment and fine grinding, they have high precision, strong tensile strength, and good finish. Toughness and not easy to break.
