Description

MAX5® cast aluminum mold blocks offer an excellent dimensional stability. This 5083 alloy provides strength, weldability, machinability, and a great anodizing response. Internally low levels of porosity are guaranteed by our casting supplier. Easy to recycle, it has a higher residual value at the end of its useful life. PCP quality department controls each block with our proprietary ultrasonic scanner. The low density of the 5000 series aluminum is an advantage over other aluminum mold products. 


Lastly, having a precision sawed surface, MAX5® can allow for a significant cost savings since surface machining may not be required.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by PCP Aluminium.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
