Aluminum MIC-6
Aluminum MIC-6 – Precision Cast Tooling Plate for Machining Fixtures and Jigs
Aluminum MIC-6 is a precision cast and stress-relieved aluminum tooling plate offering exceptional dimensional stability and flatness. With typical flatness tolerances of ±0.005 inches and a milled finish on both faces, it is the industry-standard material for machine bases, fixture plates, and CMM tooling where geometry must remain stable over time.
Key Properties
- Tensile Strength: 152 MPa
- Density: 2.66 g/cm³
- Flatness: ±0.005" typical
- Condition: Stress-relieved, milled both sides
- Standard: ASTM B209
Common Applications
CNC machining fixture plates, jig bodies, CMM measurement bases, vacuum chuck plates, optical benches, and precision assembly tooling where long-term dimensional stability is paramount.
