main characteristics
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Low level of internal residual stresses, which considerably reduces the deformation effects of the material during machining
- Immediate availability (thicknesses up to 500mm)
AW 5083 CAST
This quality is obtained by CAST process, which allows the material to have a good dimensional stability and homogeneity. Usually used in prototype moulds, stamping moulds, casting moulds, foam and blow moulds.
