Plate

Plate is denoted by its thickness. This starts at 6mm and we offer up to 5.1/2”(139.7mm). Our metal plates can be used for panels, covers, jigs and structural applications and are available in a choice of alloy, materials and thickness. Aluminium alloy plate Aluminium plate is available in 6082 T6 also known as HE30 and ENAW-6082.

A general purpose aluminium with good strength and machining properties combined with good corrosion resistance used for applications like vehicle bodies, floors, forming and fabrication. We also offer alternative Grades of 5083, 5251 and 2014 Aluminium Tooling Plate C250/ 5083 / ENAW 5083 Also referred to as tool and jig plate.

Machine finished on both sides to give excellent thickness tolerances, this is an extremely stable plate designed for heavy machining where good pre and post machining tolerance are required. Commonly used for mould tools and jigs
