5052 H32 Stress Relieved Tooling Plate 6mm-25mm Flatness 3mm Per Meter For Mold Bases

5052 H32 medium thick aluminum plate rolled in our own mill, stress relieved and flatness controlled to 3mm per meter, supplied with Mill Test Certificate EN 10204 3.1 carrying the heat number. It is the working grade for injection mold backing plates, stamping die plates, die sets, automation equipment bases, jigs, checking fixture templates, machine tables and hydraulic equipment housings — where a flat, machinable and corrosion resistant plate has to carry load or serve as a reference surface, at a lower cost per kilo than 6061 T6.

Where the plate carries clamping load, takes coolant or hydraulic oil spray, or has to be welded into a machine frame, 5052 H32 gives the same flatness and machinability at a lower material cost. Where the part needs the highest strength in a thin section, 6061 T6 remains the right choice, and we supply both from the same mill so the comparison is made on real quotation numbers.

Plate from 6mm to 25mm in 5052 H32 is specified where a flat reference surface or a load carrying plate is needed. Thin sheet cannot hold the bolt preload and standard 6061 plate adds cost where strength is not the limiting factor.

• Mold base backing plate (B plate / support plate), 18 - 25mm: spreads clamping force from the platen into the cavity insert without local sinking
