Aluminum Plate Stock
Specialized aluminum suppliers can provide aluminum plate at specific thicknesses and dimensions and in various stock types, including mold, cast and wrought aluminum plate according to an end-user’s application. Each stock type has its attributes and advantages.
Wrought Aluminum – Parts made from wrought aluminum tend to be stronger, more resistant to thermal stress and have fewer defects than cast aluminum.
Cast Aluminum – Cast aluminum parts are often lower-cost, and they have higher strength at high temperature levels.
Mold Aluminum – Mold plate is able to include inserts, and it can produce products at lower prices, especially compared to CAD/CAM-derived counterparts.
Cast Jig and Tool Aluminum –
Stock of this type, including Alca 5, produced by PCP Aluminum, and Mic 6, produced by Arconic, allows for high flatness and thickness tolerances and top-quality finishes as a result of double-sided precision grinding.
