ALCA 5 precision machined aluminum

Aluminum is one of the most useful alloys and most used in industry, due to the properties that characterize it as a light, malleable and long-life metal. It has excellent corrosion resistance, which favors its use in a huge variety of alloys for the manufacture of utensils, containers, metalworking, assembly, casting and machining processes.

ALCA 5 (AA5083) (also called machined aluminum) is an aluminum alloy, produced by casting, with precision cutting and machining, the optimal precision and dimensional stability of the cast plates, make it the perfect element for manufacturing of comparison systems.

What benefits does the use of FTAA 5 have?

• Reduces the risk of deformation

• Fast machining

• Reduces drafting, finishing and unnecessary actions

• Low level of internal porosity

• Excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion

• Excellent anodizing

• Excellent machining

• Reference plates.

• Measurement tools by comparison (gages and fixtures).

• Mold base plates for sand molding processes.

• Mechanical elements of machinery and equipment.

• Assembly elements.

Among its characteristics, it is important to mention that it has excellent dimensional stability during machining processes due to the low level of internal stresses, which reduces the risk of deformation during and after machining. They have good polishing capacity and resistance to oxidation in marine atmospheres, surface condition (thickness): precision milling and edge condition: precision cold cutting and their hardness is 70HB.

Main industries that use ALCA 5 aluminum

•Automotive

•Manufacture

•Plastic

•Energy

It is important to know that prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 70°C can cause intergranular corrosion.
