2024 Aluminum Alloy Moulding Plate

Product Description

2024 Aluminium Moulding Plate

 The 2024 aluminum plate is a typical hard aluminum alloy in the aluminum-copper-magnesium system. Many countries produce this alloy.It is the largest amount of aluminum. The alloy is characterized by its high strength and heat resistance and can be used as a working part below 150 ºC.

Specifically designed for precision mould applications, the Chalco range has been developed to combine high strength and mechanical stability with outstanding machinability. Over the three decades since the brand's introduction, new Chalco alloys have been developed to satisfy the enhanced performance requirements of specific moulding technologies, such as improved weldability and resistance to stress corrosion or sustained high temperatures
 
For the specifier, this gives the reassurance of knowing that the performance characteristics of an Chalco mould will exactly match process requirements every time, with all that implies in terms of reliable long-term operation. Chalco alloys are supplied fully heat treated, with no further treatment required.
 
Wide plate tolerances Guaranteed
Changes in our production process allow Chalco to now guarantee flatness and thickness tolerances on all Chalco tooling and moulding plate. The improved guarantee sets a new industry standard for tooling plate tolerances.
 
Improved stability and consistency
As you kow, stability and consistency are integral to the quality of Chalco plate. Chalco's proprietary chemistry, casting, and production techniques provides excellent piece-to-piece stability and consistency. High stability and consistency reduce warping and movement during sawing and machining. Also, the plate's through-thickness consistency creates fewer metal inconsistencies for easier and faster machining, allowing less rework and fewer scrap pieces. And our superior lot-to-lot consistency means you get the same result time and time again, so you can develop standard procedures for machining and finishing operations.
 
Expanded Satin Finish Range
Chalco's genuine satin finish is now available on all tooling plate, the satin finish is twice as smooth as plate with coarse, mechanical finishes. This superior smoothness lets you reduce or eliminate costly surface clean-up operations.
 
Better Identification System
Chalco has also recently updated its marking system. The new method paces product identification on the top of each plate. This new system lets you more easily and accurately identify the select the proper alloy, temper, size and specification. It also helps avoid errors by improving the traceability of sawed blanks.
 
A Quality Commitment
Chalco commit itself to quality processes, products, and performance. This commitment to quality-combined with a strong dedication to our customers-has made Chalco the leader in the aluminum industry. Chalco continuously strives to improve products and processes to meet customer needs and expectations.
