5052 H32 6061 T6 Aluminum Plate 6mm-25mm Thick Mold Structural CNC Machined Parts with Factory Direct Saw Cut Service

Factory direct supply of 5052-H32 and 6061-T6 aluminum plate in 6mm to 25mm thickness, stocked for mold bases, structural components and CNC machining blanks. Saw cut to your required size with no minimum cut charge, so you only pay for the material you actually use.

The 6mm-25mm thickness range covers the working window where plates must be rigid enough to hold a load or a machining tolerance, yet still be handled, sawn and drilled without heavy lifting equipment. The two alloys are selected by application rather than by price:

• Injection mold backing plates and clamp plates — 6061-T6 in 12-25mm for cavity backing, ejector plates' support bases and mold clamping plates, where dimensional stability under clamping force matters more than formability.
• Die-cast and blow mold bases — 6061-T6 blocks 20-25mm thick, machined flat and drilled for water lines and dowel pins.
• Mold shoe plates and spacer blocks — 5052-H32 for spacer and wear plates exposed to coolant and wash-down, where corrosion resistance extends service life.
• Vacuum forming and thermoforming molds — 5052-H32 6-12mm, easy to form into curved tool faces and resistant to the moisture in vacuum lines.
• Rubber and silicone compression molds — 6061-T6 plates 10-20mm, heat treated for repeated thermal cycling in presses.

• Equipment frames and gantries — 6061-T6 8-20mm gusset plates, connection plates and end plates for aluminium profile frames and automation cells.
• Machine base and mounting plates — 16-25mm 6061-T6 plates drilled and tapped for motor, reducer and linear rail mounting, holding flatness after machining.
• Brackets, ribs and stiffeners — 6-12mm 5052-H32 for welded or bolted reinforcement where welding heat input is involved; 5052 welds with far fewer cracks than 6061.
• Conveyor side plates and chassis parts — 6-10mm 5052-H32 for food and packaging lines, corrosion resistant against wash-down chemicals.
• Robot end-of-arm tooling plates — 10-16mm 6061-T6, high strength-to-weight ratio keeps payload low while holding gripper alignment.
• Bridges, walkways and platform decking supports — 5052-H32 in marine and coastal environments.

• Fixture and jig plates — 12-25mm 6061-T6 tooling plates, machined, drilled and tapped for locating pins; consistent hardness gives repeatable surface finish.
• Vacuum chuck and sub-plate bodies — 6061-T6 15-25mm, flat and stable after stress relief, sealed for vacuum channels.
• CNC machined prototypes and small batch parts — 6-25mm saw cut blanks supplied oversize to your machining allowance, cutting scrap and lead time.
• Inspection and CMM fixture bases — 6061-T6 20-25mm for granite-replacement lightweight bases.
• Tooling and die plates for press brakes — 6061-T6 16-25mm for holding tools and die shoes.

• Electronics and semiconductor equipment — 6061-T6 plate for test fixtures, heat spreader bases and chamber frames.
• Automotive and EV tooling — checking fixtures, welding jigs and battery pack assembly plates.
• Aerospace ground support and tooling — 6061-T6 non-flight tooling plates and workholding.
• Marine and offshore — 5052-H32 hatch covers, tank partitions and deck fittings, resistant to salt spray.
• Signage and architectural fabrication — 6-10mm 5052-H32 plate for fascia panels and structural sign frames.
• Food processing and pharmaceutical equipment — 5052-H32 6-12mm for guards, trays and hopper walls that face daily cleaning.

Every order can be built to your drawing instead of to a catalogue size. Standard customization options:

Send us a drawing, a cut list or simply the finished part dimensions and we will confirm the plate size, cutting plan and yield before you place the order.

• Technical consultation before order — we help you choose between 5052-H32 and 6061-T6 based on welding, machining, corrosion and strength requirements, so you do not over-specify and overpay.
• Free sample plate — a 100 x 100mm cut sample of either alloy is available for incoming inspection, machining trials or customer approval.
• Mill test certificates — chemical composition and mechanical property reports supplied with every shipment, traceable to the heat number.
• Third-party inspection — SGS, BV or your nominated inspection body can be arranged before shipment at your request.
• Cutting plan optimization — we return a nesting plan showing how your parts fit the standard plate sizes, so material waste is visible before production starts.
• Order tracking — production photos, packing photos and loading photos sent at each stage; container and vessel details shared after booking.
• Response time — quotation within 8 working hours for standard sizes; drawing-based quotes within 24 hours.
• After-sales support — thickness, flatness or dimension deviation claims handled with replacement or credit; we keep the original plate records for 12 months.
• Documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, fumigation certificate and mill certificates prepared for customs clearance.

Plates are loaded with timber dunnage and air bags where needed to prevent shifting during ocean transit. For LCL shipments we use reinforced wooden cases sized to the pallet footprint.

MOQ 1 ton. Price terms FOB, CIF, CFR, CNF. Payment by T/T or L/C. Tell us the alloy, temper, thickness, width and length you need along with your destination port, and we will quote the cut plate price directly from the mill.
