The aluminum mold alloy that out-machines, out-cools, out-cycles, out-produces and outsmarts steel. Aluminum: GAME- CHANGING It’s tIme to thInk dIfferently about mold materIals for productIon-ready plastIc InjectIon moldIng. It’s tIme to thInk alumInum Instead of steel. As Alcoa’s next generation ® mold alloy, QC-10 expands mold design options and brings new performance capabilities to high volume manufacturing. It machines 8-10 times faster than steel, reduc- ing finishing costs and lead times by 20-30%. Plus it conducts heat nearly 5 times faster than P-20 tool steel, shortening production cycle times by 20-40%. No wonder it’s the new mold material of choice. FOR MOLD MAKERS: Faster and easier machining For mold makers, aluminum offers reducing machining time. And because significant benefits over tool steels – heat developed during machining stays benefits that allow them to expand their largely in the chips, cutting tools stay design options and take advantage of its sharp and last longer. Not only that: with unrivaled thermal and machining properties. one-third the density of steel, aluminum’s lighter weight makes it easier and less A lighter metal, aluminum is easier to expensive to handle and transport. cut and faster to machine into molds, translating into faster machining rates, QC-10 CompA risoN shorter mold production time, and Thermal Yield extended tooling life.
