Mix of Mold Plate Materials On Display
Clinton Aluminum Steel has cast products and heavy, forged plates on display in its booth at NPE2018.
Clinton Aluminum and Stainless Steel is reportedly the largest distributor of aluminum mold plate in North America. It stocks the full spectrum of alloys, which includes cast products for low volume, prototypes, and heavy forged plate for production molds. Clinton’s mold plate products include M1, Duramold-2, Duramold-5, M5, Formodal, Alumold, Hokotol and Weldural along with its new product CA-7 plus, which the company says helps close the gap between the cast products and the heavy forged 7000 plate. It has millions of pounds of aluminum plate, bar, rod, sheet and structural shapes at its multiple processing facilities. Multiple plate saws in each facility help the company process customer orders quickly and accurately, and the company’s logistics team delivers daily to help customers meet critical lead times.
