In the manufacture of molds, aluminum sheets have become the main materials due to their many advantages as traditional metal substitutes. What are the advantages of aluminum foil in the mold manufacturing industry?

Light weight

Aluminum sheets seem to to give peope light weight. In fact, the density of the aluminum sheet is only 36% of the whole mold. Therefore, the mold made of an aluminum plate has a relatively low inertia, and the addition and delay during the manufacturing process are relatively simple, which can effectively reduce the mold. Loss, the advantage is obvious.

Good corrosion resistance

In the natural environment, aluminum sheets exhibit good resistance to corrosion and oxidation. In particular, 5052 aluminum sheets, 6061 aluminum sheets and 7075 aluminum sheets are widely used in the manufacture of molds.

Strong mechanical processing capacity

The aluminum plate is easy to process and has high dimensional stability. The cutting speed of the aluminum plate is more than 6 times higher than that of conventional stamped steel, which can greatly reduce the mold's processing time and effectively guarantee the production speed.

Good thermal conductivity

The thermal conductivity of the aluminum plate is greater than the thermal conductivity of conventional stamped steel, which can save more than 50% of the cold cutting time in the mold manufacturing process and significantly improve the manufacturing efficiency of the mold. Therefore, aluminum sheets are widely used in 80% of various industries, such as injection molds, blow molds, low pressure molds and rubber molds. With the development of the market, super hard aluminum has replaced steel as the main material for mold
