Five Advantages of 6061 Aluminum plate for Mold Manufacturing

Improve mold production efficiency

Aluminum alloy has good thermal conductivity, can be heated or cooled more effectively, and the demolding time is shortened.

Shorten production time

Aluminum alloy has excellent processing performance and can be cut at high speed.

Improve corrosion resistance

6061 aluminum plate keep the surface of the mold bright and clean, and extend the service life of the mold.

Improve polishing quality and efficiency

Aluminum alloy has high strength and stability, making polishing easier and achieving a mirror effect quickly.

Reduce costs and increase efficiency

Meanwhile, due to the lightweight and excellent processing performance of aluminum alloy materials, it can greatly reduce the wear of machines and tools, reduce downtime and maintenance time, and extend the service life of machinery. The use of aluminum alloy molds can reduce energy consumption and labor intensity of workers, which is beneficial for improving the operating environment.
