Additional available grades include 3003 5083 5086 5454 2024 7075 and mic 6.
Mic 6 tooling plate.
Mic6 is cast from a high strength 7000 series aluminum then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high speed machining.
It has superior flatness and dimensional tolerances on the thickness which makes it popular for tooling and base plates.
Most of our aluminum cast plate stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths.
Applications mechanical and chemical data.
The 5052 plate offers excellent corrosion resistance and weldability while 6061 aluminum plate is one of the strongest and most commonly used heat treatable grades.
It has superior flatness and dimensional tolerances on the thickness.
Aluminum mic 6 product guide.
Aluminum plate cast also known as mic 6 is normally used for tooling and base plates cast plate offers exceptional stability and consistency between plates.
Aluminum mic 6 is cast plate known for its stability and consistency between plates.
Mic 6 aluminum cast plate is a blend of the most desirable features of many individual metals.
Because of its cast granular structure and stress relieving properties mic6 aluminum cast plate allows high speed metal removal with little if any of the distortion commonly inherent in long grained wrought flat rolled metals.
