KASTAL 300®

Aluminium Tooling Plate


KASTAL 300® Aluminium Tooling Plate

KASTAL 300® - a high precision cast aluminium speciality plate designed to meet stringent requirements for size and shape stability whilst significantly reducing through cost.



Introduction

KASTAL 300® is a 5000 series cast aluminium plate with unusually high strength and pre-milled on both sides to very close thickness and flatness tolerances. The 5000 series composition allows superior product attributes compared with traditional 7000 series cast plates. We recommend ALPLAN or UNIDAL wrought speciality plates where the application is more demanding.



Composition

The unique qualities possessed by KASTAL 300® are gained from its advanced composition and enhanced casting process, both of which are not fully disclosed in detail for commercial reasons.



Typical Applications

Commercial applications for this engineering material include:

  • High precision components
  • Precision assembly equipment
  • Precision equipment baseplates and side plates
  • Reference plates
  • Computer components and baseplates
  • Electronics supports
  • Robotics
  • Printing equipment

We stock KASTAL 300® in plate.
