MATERIALS with tradition

FORMODAL ® 023: These cast plates made of EN AW-5083 are characterized by low residual stress, excellent corrosion resistance and their dimensional stability. This makes FORMODAL ® 023 suitable for many applications in tool, mold and model making and ideal for machining. Milled flat and laminated on both sides, we offer these sheets as FORMODAL ® 030 precision sheets.

FORMODAL ® 023 compact is a high-pressure compacted further development. It is extremely non-porous with a very homogeneous structure and therefore diffusion-tight. It is therefore particularly suitable for vacuum applications, high-speed rotating components and polishing.

FORMODAL ® 024 elox: FORMODAL ® 024 elox is a special 5083 alloy from BIKAR with a fine-grained structure thanks to an optimized casting process. The plates are characterized by excellent machinability, very good polishability and optimized anodizing properties. FORMODAL ® 024 elox has a wide range of applications in industries such as laser technology, printing technology and medical technology.

FORMODAL ® 025X: With a reduced hydrogen content, these investment casting plates based on an EN AW-5083 alloy are ideal for use in vacuum technology and in the semiconductor and solar industries. They are subject to special manufacturing and testing procedures with regard to the hydrogen content of the grain size, pore size and porosity.

FORMODAL ® 036: This high-strength cast aluminium plate based on EN AW-7021 is available flat milled and foiled as a precision plate or rough sawn and is characterized by excellent dimensional stability and corrosion resistance. The low residual stress allows it to be used for injection molds, in mechanical engineering and fixture construction as well as base plates, table tops and mounting plates. We also offer this alloy as a compressed special casting FORMODAL ® 036 compact. 

FORMODAL ® 07: These sheets made of EN AW-1050A impress with their excellent anodizing properties, corrosion resistance, low stress, dimensional stability and good welding and electrical conductivity. They are particularly interesting for applications in electrical engineering, semiconductor technology and the food industry.

FORMODAL ® 019 anodized: This special alloy, based on material AA5754, is particularly suitable for optical anodizing. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, low stress, dimensional stability and welding properties. The plates are of particular interest in packaging technology, the electrical industry and the optical industry as a rough-sawn or flat-milled variant.
