BRUSH WELLMAN PLATE PRODUCTS
Plate is a straight length of flat rolled product thicker than 0.188” and wider than 12”.
Plate is typically used in applications such as:
- Heat tolerant molds for plastic injection systems
- Structural components in electrical resistance welding
- Galling resistant wear plates and rub strips
- Metal die casting, plastic blow molding, and injection molding inserts
Plate is available in solution annealed (A), cold rolled (H), and age hardened tempers (AT and HT). Temper selection depends on the application and the method of component fabrication. If the “A” or “H” temper is selected, parts are usually machined oversize to accommodate the slight dimensional change that occurs during age hardening. The parts are then finish machined.
Specialty plates for use in the plastics tooling industry are available in MoldMAX®, MoldMAX SC®, or MoldMAX XL®.
