Almex Optima™ Billet Casting Molds are available for hard alloy and soft alloy D.C. casting in billet sizes from 127 mm to 1080 mm diameter (5" to 42" Diameter). The quality of the billet cast with Almex recommended practice meets all stringent requirements for making commercial extrusions of AA6063 to complex aerospace forging of alloy AA7050. In fact, Almex is the only company in the world providing super large diameter aerospace aluminum alloy technology.

D.C. Casting - Billet Tooling Features: Safety: Molds fitted from top, unitized lift Simplicity: Tooling with the fewest parts Performance on Hard and Soft Alloy   Almex Billet Tooling Performance: Casting your Billets with the Almex Optima™ mold technology puts you at the following advantages: Reduced subsurface segregation Very consistent extrusion and forged product properties Consistent bright dip anodizing response Easily reproducible casting response Uniform Billet sub-surface properties throughout length Improved casting pit recovery Improved casting pit productivity Reduced first step homogenizing cycle No contribution to ultrasonic ‘pick-up’ as a result of variations in cell size, porosity, and precipitate size post homogenization Shorter ‘sonic-free’ butt ends Reduced maintenance needs for tooling control Fastest Payback Period Tooling with fewest components
