From these materials, we manufacture:

• cuttings in nearly all requested lengths,
  widths and thicknesses
• circular blanks
• rings
• shaped blanks as per drawing
• parts as per drawing
• lifting devices for heavy plates

Other alloys, dimensions and temper on request.

Special features of this material:

• Surface machined cast plates
• Very good machinability
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Good welding properties
• Low stress and dimensionally stable

Applications:

• Tool making, mould making and model making
• Blow moulds and injection moulds
• Laminating tools
• Moulds for elastomer materials
• Moulds and heat-stressed parts
• Moulds with welded construction
• Refrigeration technology

Characteristics:

FORMODAL® 030, an aluminium-cast-alloy (based on EN AW-5083 - Al Mg4,5 Mn0,7) created by special thermal homogenization with similar mechanical properties as aluminium rolled plates.

FORMODAL® 030 is especially stress-relieved, making it excellent for machining. In addition, the rolling process is omitted during production, resulting in the absence of crystalline structure longitudinal. Thanks to the machined surfaces, roughing, finishing or remachining often become superfluous.
