Mic 6 aluminum cast plate is a blend of the most desirable features of many individual metals.
Mic 6 tooling plate.
Aluminum plate cast also known as mic 6 is normally used for tooling and base plates cast plate offers exceptional stability and consistency between plates.
The manufacture of this tooling plate material is the most advanced in the cast plate industry.
Touting the most advanced process used in the cast plate industry all thicknesses of mic 6 cast tool and jig plate are produced to exceptional flatness tolerances.
Mic6 is cast from a high strength 7000 series aluminum then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high speed machining.
The 5052 plate offers excellent corrosion resistance and weldability while 6061 aluminum plate is one of the strongest and most commonly used heat treatable grades.
Howard offers both alcoa s mic 6 and pcp s alca 5 cast plate from stock.
Cast tool jig plate atp 5 is typically stocked in 48 5 x 144 5 60 5 x 144 5 and 72 5 x 144 5 domestically partnered with vista metals out of fontana ca our vista metals atp 5 cast aluminum plate can be produced in custom widths and lengths with a very short lead time.
Aluminum mic 6 product guide.
Additional available grades include 3003 5083 5086 5454 2024 7075 and mic 6.
Most of our aluminum cast plate stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths.
Aluminum mic 6 is cast plate known for its stability and consistency between plates.
The thicker plates 75 19 mm and over are produced to thickness.
It has superior flatness and dimensional tolerances on the thickness which makes it popular for tooling and base plates.
Because of its cast granular structure and stress relieving properties mic6 aluminum cast plate allows high speed metal removal with little if any of the distortion commonly inherent in long grained wrought flat rolled metals.

It promotes consistency between plates and reduces the risk of disrupting material stability by entrapping stress.
Thicknesses of 25 to 625 6 mm and over have a maximum thickness variation of 015.
Cast aluminum tool jig plate has a thickness tolerance of 005 a machined surface for superior flatness and pvc plastic protection on two sides.
Use these discs for cnc routing tables assembly jigs vacuum chucks and other applications where consistent flatness and tight tolerances are critical.
