5052 H32 Medium Thick Aluminum Plate 6mm-25mm For Injection Mold Base Plates

5052 H32 medium thick aluminum plate supplied direct from our rolling mill in 6mm to 25mm thickness, stress relieved and flatness controlled for tooling and machinery building. 5052 is an Al-Mg alloy with good strength, excellent corrosion resistance and clean machinability, which makes it a working material for mold base plates, die sets and machine frames rather than only a decorative sheet.

5052 H32 plate in 6mm to 25mm is used where a flat, machinable and corrosion resistant plate has to carry load or serve as a reference surface. The list below covers the main industries we supply, with the thickness usually specified for each part.

• Mold base backing plate (B plate / support plate), 15 – 25mm: carries the cavity insert and spreads clamping load evenly over the platen
• Clamping plate and ejector housing plate, 10 – 20mm: drilled for guide pillars, screws and return pins without local distortion
• Hot runner manifold support plate, 12 – 20mm: flat surface keeps manifold sealing faces parallel
• Uniform hardness across the plate so bolt preload does not deform the mold stack during high tonnage clamping

• Die shoe and punch holder plate, 20 – 25mm: stable thickness under repeated impact cycles
• Die set bolster and backing plate, 16 – 25mm: flat base for die blocks, strippers and guide posts
• Progressive die spacer and shim plate, 6 – 10mm: precise thickness control for die height adjustment
• No built-in stress release during stamping, so die clearance stays constant over long production runs

• Machine base plate and frame bed, 20 – 25mm: welded or bolted machine frame that carries robots, gantries and conveyors
• Linear guide rail mounting base, 12 – 20mm: flatness under 3mm per meter for rail alignment
• Servo motor and reducer mounting plate, 10 – 16mm: drilled and tapped without thread pull-out
• Robot pedestal and end-of-arm tooling plate, 15 – 25mm: rigid interface between robot flange and gripper
• Suitable for welding, drilling, tapping, milling and anodizing after machining

• Welding jig and fixture base plate, 12 – 20mm: dimensionally stable platform for repeated clamping
• Checking fixture (CMM) base and template plate, 16 – 25mm: reference surface for three coordinate measurement
• Quick change pallet and tooling plate, 15 – 25mm: drilled grid plate for modular fixture systems
• Assembly fixture and locating plate, 8 – 16mm: holds inserts, bushes and locating pins in position

• CNC and woodworking machine table, 15 – 25mm: T-slot or grid table with flat reference top
• Assembly bench and inspection table top, 10 – 20mm: light weight against steel, no rust in wet workshops
• Conveyor side plate and guide rail support, 6 – 12mm: cut and bent to line layout

• Hydraulic tank end plate and cover plate, 8 – 16mm: welded tank panels with good corrosion resistance to hydraulic oil
• Valve block mounting plate and manifold base, 15 – 25mm: flat pad for O-ring sealing faces
• Cylinder mounting flange and pump support plate, 16 – 25mm: takes bolt load and vibration without cracking
• Hydraulic power unit housing panel, 6 – 10mm: bent enclosure panels, easy to cut and drill on site

• Semiconductor and LCD equipment frames and stage base plates
• Packaging machinery wall plates, guard plates and cam plates
• Textile, printing and food processing machine guards and support plates
• Electrical cabinet base plate and busbar support plate
• Marine and vehicle interior structural plate where 5052 corrosion resistance is required
