Mold is one of the important tools for industrial production. There are many types of molds and materials. Among them, aluminum molds are very popular among enterprises because of their high precision, long service life, easy processing, and multiple recycling. Aluminum molds are commonly made of 2-series, 5-series, 6-series, and 7-series aluminum sheets. 6061 aluminum plate is one of the commonly used mold aluminum plates, which belongs to aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy and has good castability and corrosion resistance. And 6061 precision ground aluminum plate is widely used in the manufacture of high-end precision molds because of its excellent surface flatness and excellent performance.
