Yes, there are several types of aluminum but the 6000 and 7000 series alloys are the most common. AIM designs and builds injection mold tooling utilizing Alcoa’s QC-10 aluminum. QC-10 is a high hard type of aluminum mold plate and is an optimum material for a wide range of injection and blowmold applications. With a thermal conductivity near five times that of steel, QC-10 can improve production cycle times by up to 25%.
