Do you need an aluminum plate that is precisely machined? Then you're probably looking for our aluminum cast tool and jig plate.

Aluminum cast plate is a high-quality, accurately machined aluminum plate that has received a thermal stress relieving treatment to provide dimensional stability during machining. Typically, it can be heated repeatedly to temperatures as high as 800°F (427°C) and, when cooled, will return to its original dimension with a minimum of distortion, depending upon the extent of machining.

While the hardness will vary considerably with the thickness due to the thermal treatment, the plate will still retain good machining characteristics. Cast tool and jig plate is of the 7000 series-type alloy, and at Cut2Size Metals, we stock 1/2-inch-thick material. If you need thicknesses ranging from a .250 inch to 4 inches, give us a call at (812) 429-1634.

The exact alloy composition is proprietary; however, it has been in use successfully for decades. It is known by various trade names, such as Mic6, Alca Plus, and K100.

This product offers good resistance to general corrosion. Since most applications of this precision product are sheltered from atmospheric and industrial environments, no special protective measures are usually required. This plate is typically used for stretch-forming dies, rubber pad process form blocks, assembly jigs, locating devices, drill jigs, pattern and core plates, and inspection fixtures.
