ALUMEC is a kind of high-strength aluminum alloy. The condition of delivery is hot rolled and heat-treated plate material. Through particular cold drawing, it can greatly eliminate stress. With the properties of high strength and high stability, it has been widely used in dies.

calibration of delivery: heat treat to 146-180HB;
With following characteristics, ALUMEC is adapted for various dies, particular for plastic dies:
 excellent mechanical machining
The high speed of shaving reduces machining time, reduces tools abrasion and shortens period of delivery.
 light weight
The weight of harden aluminum is about 1/3 of the same-volume steel, which makes die operation much easier and more convenient. The low inertia makes improving the speed of opening and locking die become possible.
 high heat exchange
The property of high heat exchange shortens production period and simple cooling system is available.
 excellent stability
ALUMEC can guarantee smallest deforming during or after machining through particular stress relief.
 good corrosion resistance
This property makes ALUMEC adapt for general plastic.
 adapt for surface treatment
Through harden anode oxygen, harden chromeplating or nickel, the properties of surface hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance are improved.
These typical characteristics have made ALUMEC an ideal material for making sample dies, the high-abrasion die not afford high pressure of short/mid service life, greatly shortening period of making die, shortening production period and reducing cost for making die, which all brings economic benefit for users and die manufacturers.
