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
Aluminium significantly reduces vehicle weight and thus contributes to fuel savings and CO₂ reduction. alimex aluminium for the automotive industry supports the development of lightweight construction concepts - a key factor for modern drives and e-mobility. Lighter vehicles offer better acceleration, greater range and increased safety thanks to shorter braking distances. In addition, aluminium is almost 100% recyclable and promotes sustainable product cycles. No wonder its share in passenger cars has multiplied since 1978 - especially in body construction.
Through continuous material optimization, alimex is constantly opening up new applications for aluminium in the automotive industry.
