Aluminum Mold Plate List

Aluminum mold plate is aluminum plate which has been designed specifically for the application of Aluminum molds. It is way more durable than other aluminum products, since it must be utilized in high temperature applications and repetitive cycles. It has a lot of machinability advantages over any steel molds, and it highly desired thermal conductivity. M1 mold plate is tougher and harder than wrought 6061 plate with less dimensional stress making it perfect for mold applications. It is neither too hard nor too soft.

Aluminum mold plates are primarily used in industries which require them for the purposes of molding, as well as plastic manufacturing, and some foundry applications.

Yes, Aluminum mold plates can be customized to specific dimensions as they are cast into large blocks that are cut down to size. Depending on the application and size, custom thicknesses may take 2-3 weeks to get from the producing mill.

The typical tolerance range will vary depending on which type of aluminum mold plate you order. M1 mold plate is produced with the thickness guaranteed to clean up to the nominal dimension. For example. 10” thick plate will come to you as 10.125” with a plus side tolerance.

For M-1 aluminum mold plates, the largest available size is 30″ thick, up to 74″ wide, up to 220″ long and 19” x 88” x 196”. For M-5 Max 5 aluminum mold plates, they can be cast in dimensions of up to 22.25” x 98″ x 293″ and 42.5 x 67.75 x 111.
