Aluminum alloy Plate
The thickness of the aluminum plate is more than 0.2mm, 500mm or less, 200mm width or more, the length of 16m or less of aluminum called aluminum plate or aluminum sheet, 0.2mm or less for aluminum, a width of less than 200mm or discharge material strip (of course with the advancement of large equipment, the widest 600mm exhaust timber can be done will be more). Refers to the processing of aluminum ingots rolled rectangular plate, divided into pure aluminum, aluminum alloy, thin aluminum, aluminum pattern in the thick aluminum,aluminum checker plate.

The advantages of Aluminum alloy Plate
Fine machinability
Comparing to the steel, the speed of aluminium alloy’s machinability is 4 times faster. Therefore, the mould manufacturing period can be shortened by using aluminium alloy material. Besides, the excellent machinability can largely reduce wear of cutting tools and extend their life, thus reduce the production cost and material waste.
Low density
With desity of 2700kg/m3, only 1/3 density of steel, the aluminium plate can be easily moved and transported, and the aluminium mould could be conveniently open and close because of low weight.
Outstanding thermal conductivity
With thermal conductivity 123W/m·K-170W/m·K, 4 times of the steel, aluminium alloy can shorten components cooling time effectively.
