MAX5® Aluminum Mold Blocks
MAX5® cast aluminum mold blocks feature exceptional dimensional stability. This 5083 aluminum alloy possesses the machinability, weldability, strength, and great anodizing response required for many applications. Our casting supplier guarantees internally low levels of porosity with this mold block. The MAX5® cast aluminum block we offer at Howard Precision, Inc. is also easy to recycle and possesses a high residual value when its service life is complete.
Our PCP quality department uses a predatory ultrasonic scanner to control each aluminum mold block. This 5000 series of aluminum has an advantage over other aluminum mold products due to its low density.
The MAX5® 5083 aluminum block we offer, possessing a precision sawed surface, enables considerable cost savings since the requirement for surface machining may be absent.
