Mic 6 tooling plate. The manufacture of this tooling plate material is the most advanced in the cast plate industry. It promotes consistency between plates and reduces the risk of disrupting material stability by entrapping stress. Mic 6 is used in applications like aircraft tooling automotive tooling base plates indexing tables side plates cnc routing cables circuit printers chip printers dielectrics plastic components manufacturing document sorting equipment packaging machinery and molds and also vacuum chambers for computer chips. Howard offers both alcoa s mic 6 and pcp s alca 5 cast plate from stock.
Mic6 is cast from a high strength 7000 series aluminum then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high speed machining. Because of its cast granular structure and stress relieving properties mic6 aluminum cast plate allows high speed metal removal with little if any of the distortion commonly inherent in long grained wrought flat rolled metals. The thicker plates 75 19 mm and over are produced to thickness. Use these discs for cnc routing tables assembly jigs vacuum chucks and other applications where consistent flatness and tight tolerances are critical.
Aluminum mic 6 product guide. Additional available grades include 3003 5083 5086 5454 2024 7075 and mic 6. Thicknesses of 25 to 625 6 mm and over have a maximum thickness variation of 015. It has superior flatness and dimensional tolerances on the thickness which makes it popular for tooling and base plates.
The 5052 plate offers excellent corrosion resistance and weldability while 6061 aluminum plate is one of the strongest and most commonly used heat treatable grades. Aluminum plate cast also known as mic 6 is normally used for tooling and base plates cast plate offers exceptional stability and consistency between plates. The result is a cast aluminum plate that meets the challenge of product accuracy demanded by today s industry. It has superior flatness and dimensional tolerances on the thickness.
Cast aluminum tool jig plate has a thickness tolerance of 005 a machined surface for superior flatness and pvc plastic protection on two sides. Applications mechanical and chemical data. Touting the most advanced process used in the cast plate industry all thicknesses of mic 6 cast tool and jig plate are produced to exceptional flatness tolerances. Aluminum mic 6 is cast plate known for its stability and consistency between plates.
