Note

N/A Center of die space is in the center of the die plates.

It is recommended to finish heavy (point pressures) machining before grinding for best results. We do not recommend using steel and aluminum plates in a die set combination.

Advantages

Advantages

N/A
  • One-third the weight of steel
  • Faster and easier setup
  • Less wear and tear on the machine (clutch, brake, ram, ...)
  • Easy machinability means 20-35% increased feed rates
  • Uses existing conventional cuttings tools
  • Draws heat away from tooling, then dissipates heat quickly
  • Rust free, least susceptible to elements
  • Impervious to typical (water soluble) die lubes
  • Non-magnetic - good environment for in-die sensing
  • Stress relieved in the process - a stable material before/after machining
  • Easily recyclable
