Aluminum cast plate is a machined plate with close tolerances. This ground aluminium plate is typically used for stretch-forming dies, rubber pad process form blocks, assembly jigs, locating devices, drill jigs, pattern and core plates, and inspection fixtures.
Alloy: Cast Tool
Characteristics: Lightweight, machined surface with a mild brushed finish.
Workability: Excellent candidate for most processing techniques. Great corrosion resistance.
Thickness Tolerance: Using proper aluminum machining methods, tolerances in the thousandths can be consistently maintained. Aluminum cast plate is finished to 20 microinches typical on both sides. Thickness tolerances is within +/-.005″ from nominal on 1/4″- 4″.
Flatness Tolerance: Flatness tolerance is maintained within .015″ on 1/4″-5/8″ thickness and .005″ on 3/4″- 4″ thickness.
Applications: Commonly machined to end-user specifications. Jigs, Templates, Fixtures, Molds
Aluminum Cast Plate is a blend of the most desirable features of many individual metals. The manufacture of this tooling plate material is the most advanced in the cast plate industry. It promotes consistency between plates and reduces the risk of disrupting material stability by entrapping stress. Its cast granular structure and stress relieving properties allow high-speed metal removal with little, if any of the distortion commonly inherent in flat-rolled metals.
Advantages of cast aluminum tooling plate include its light weight, smooth flatness tolerance, good machining qualities, and it is free from tension, contaminants and porosity. This cast aluminium tooling plate alloy is similar to those in the 7000 series with precise adaptable additions of Zinc, Copper, Magnesium and components of Silicon, Iron and Manganese.
