In the mold manufacturing industry, mold aluminum plate have become the main materials by virtue of their many advantages as traditional metal substitutes.  What are the many advantages of aluminum plates in the mold manufacturing industry:

1. Light Weight

The impression that the aluminum plate gives people is light weight. It is true that the density of the aluminum plate is only 36% of that of the general mold. Therefore, the inertia of the mold produced by the aluminum plate is relatively low, and the addition and deceleration are relatively easy in the production process, which can effectively reduce the mold. The loss, the advantage is significant.

2. Good Corrosion Resistance

In the natural environment, aluminum plates have good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. In particular, 5052 aluminum plates, 6061 aluminum plates, and 7075 aluminum plates have been widely used in mold manufacturing.

3. Strong Mechanical Processing

Aluminum plate machining easy, high dimensional stability. The cutting speed of the aluminum plate is more than 6 times faster than that of the general die steel, which can greatly reduce the mold processing time and effectively provide the production speed.

4. Good Thermal Conductivity

The thermal conductivity of the aluminum plate is higher than that of the general die steel, and the cold cutting time during the mold production can be saved by more than 50%, and the production efficiency of the mold is greatly improved. Therefore, aluminum plates are widely used in 80% of different mold industries such as injection molds, blow molds, low pressure molds and rubber molds. With the development of the market, superhard aluminum has replaced steel as the main material for mold processing.
