Alloys of aluminium for the construction of moulds
15/06/2005
The name Alcast corresponds to blocks of aluminium alloy AA7035, cast, homogenised and temperate. The specific production process of these blocks will ensure uniform mechanical characteristics throughout the entire section. Metallurgical State T6 is obtained from a heat-treated commissioning solution, quenching and artificial ageing, which confer on the blocks an excellent performance suitable for the construction of moulds.
Benefits:
- Availability of large thickness. (up to 625 mm and soon up to 1,000 mm).
- Measure cutting of the necessary thickness for each application.
- Resistance and uniform mechanical characteristics throughout the section.
- Optimum dimensional stability
- Minimum porosity for the specificity of the manufacturing process.
- Possibility of repair by welding.
- Possibility of textured surface.
Applications:
- Molds, especially of large dimensions for low and medium pressure.
- Moulds for RIM.
- Moulds for thermoforming with temperatures below 110 ° C.
- Parts machined with stability and mechanical resistance requirements
- Parts for machinery (replacement of plates cast not quenchable alloys).
- Replacement of iron of Foundry or of medium strength steels.
