ACP aluminium plate - A real all-rounder for the industry
From the aerospace industry to mould making, alimex is the contact for industry whenever aluminium needs to show off its strengths. And these are used in all sectors in the course of technological development:
Aerospace industry
As in aviation, aluminium is also used in the aerospace industry - indeed, it can even be said that it is the main component not only in parts and insulation, but also in experimental equipment, modules and solar systems. alimex is a quality leader and partner for high-precision alloys.
Optical industry
alimex supplies precision parts and plates for a wide range of applications in the optical industry. In particular, the mirror-smooth precision cast plates guarantee optically flawless quality thanks to a special milling technique. For these solutions, alimex also received the coveted European Aluminium Award.
Mould making
The alimex solutions for mould and prototype construction are characterised by excellent stress relief and machining properties as well as high strength properties. Moulds made of aluminium also have significantly better thermal conductivity than moulds made of steel, which in turn significantly reduces cycle times in the production of plastic parts and therefore leads directly to further cost savings.
Packaging industry
The milled or sawn aluminium cast plates from alimex in particular, with their high-precision surfaces, are used in this important branch of industry.
Automotive industry
Aluminum plays a key role in reducing vehicle weight, thereby sustainably lowering fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. At the same time, alimex supports the development of modern lightweight construction concepts with high-quality aluminum solutions. Lighter vehicles benefit not only from greater range and better acceleration, but also from shorter braking distances and additional safety advantages.
Furthermore, aluminum is nearly 100% recyclable and thus makes an important contribution to sustainable product and material cycles. Accordingly, the proportion of aluminum in passenger car manufacturing has risen steadily since the 1970s—particularly in the body and structural components sectors. alimex aluminum is used, among other things, in high-precision measuring devices. Through the continuous development and optimization of its materials, alimex is constantly opening up new applications. This includes aluminum in the automotive industry.
