Knowledge

The working conditions of the mold are complex, so the mold material must be resistant to high temperatures, fatigue, wear, and not easily deformed. Aluminum alloy is currently the most widely used mold material. The Mold Aluminum Plate made with it has light weight, good processing performance, high temperature resistance and wear resistance. The alloys commonly used as molds are 2 series, 5 series, 6 series and 7 series, which can be used for underwear molds, shoe molds, etc.

Common aluminum alloy types of Mold Aluminum Plate

Series 2 aluminum plates are aluminum and copper alloys, usually composed of 97% aluminum and 3% copper, with high hardness and high tensile strength, but they are usually uncommon. 5 series aluminum plate belongs to aluminum-magnesium alloy, the main feature is good anti-rust performance, commonly used in the manufacture of die alloy 5083 aluminum plate, 5052 aluminum plate. 6 series aluminum plate belongs to aluminum magnesium silicon alloy. It is one of the main materials for manufacturing high-end precision molds. It can be used for 80% of products in different mold industries, such as injection molds, blow molds, low pressure molds and rubber molds. It is a commonly used mold aluminum plate. The T5 and T6 states of 6082 aluminum plate are suitable for molds with good machinability requirements. Usually, the mold is made of a medium-thickness aluminum plate. The main alloy elements of 7 series aluminum plates are zinc and magnesium, which have a strong strengthening effect on the alloy. The tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy increase with increasing proportion. At the same time, 7 series aluminum plates are also important materials in the aerospace industry.

Advantages of Mold Aluminum Plate

1. Light weight, because its density is only 36% of ordinary mold steel, so the motion inertia is relatively low, it is easier to increase and decrease the speed during the production process, which can reduce the loss of machinery and mold, and not easy to deform the mold .

2. Good processing performance, high dimensional stability, precise thickness tolerance, reducing material waste. The cutting speed is more than 6 times that of ordinary mold steel, which can save mold processing time and improve production efficiency.

3. Good thermal conductivity can save the heating or cooling time of the mold in production, thereby improving production efficiency.

4. Corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, easy polishing, and silvery white luster, beautiful and durable.
