Clinton Aluminum Alumold 1-500 Forged

Alumold 1-500 Forged is a high quality, high strength aluminum alloy intended for the plastic forming industry and for other tooling applications. With its high strength and surface hardness it is suitable for polishing and texturing and is weldable. It is supplied in the forged, heat treated, quenched, cold compressed and aged condition. Alumold 1-500 Forged possesses better than normal mechanical properties in all sizes, excellent thermal conductivity and very good machinability together with good stability.Applications:Blow MoldingInjection MoldingRIM-MoldingVacuum FormingFoam MoldingHolders and Support PlatesJig and FixturesDie SetsMachine Frames Technical PropertiesHigh Thermal Conductivity - Reduction in cycle time, maintenance of consistent processing temperature and better plastic part dimensional controlGood Corrosion Resistance - Against most plastic materialsMachinability - Reduction of machine time lowers tooling costs and improves delivery timeSurface treatment - Can be anodized, hard chromed and nickel plated to increase wear and corrosion resistance
