Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a quick guide for aluminum plates provided by A. M. Castle & Co., detailing various alloys, their properties, applications, and processing capabilities.
Alloy Specifications: The guide covers several aluminum alloys including 2024, 6061, 7075, 7050, 7475, and MIC-6. Each alloy is listed with its temper, thickness, mechanical properties (such as strength, yield, elongation, and hardness), and typical applications. For example, 2024 is used in aircraft structures, while MIC-6 is noted for its machinability and stability.
Chemical Composition: The document provides chemical composition limits for each alloy, specifying the maximum or range percentages of elements like silicon, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, zinc, and titanium.
Plate Specifications: The guide includes specifications for plate dimensions and tolerances, particularly for aerospace alloys. It notes that tighter tolerances may be available depending on the supplier.
Processing Capabilities: A. M. Castle & Co. offers various processing services including plate sawing, shearing, precision plate sawing, precision cut-off saw, contour shape sawing, and waterjet cutting. Each service is described with its capabilities, such as maximum thickness and length, cutting tolerance, and surface finish.
Certifications and Standards: The document mentions that all wrought plates meet AMS-QQ-A-250, AMS, and ASTM specifications. Castle Metals is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
Disclaimer: The typical properties provided are averages and not guaranteed. They are intended for comparison purposes and should not be used as engineering requirements.

Note: Capability to provide tighter tolerances may vary with supplier (4) When a dimension is specified other than as an equal bilateral tolerance, the value of the standard tolerance is that which applies to the mean of the maximum and minimum dimensions permissible under the tolerance for the dimension under consideration. (5) Refer to Aluminum Standards & Data, Table 7.7a, for non-heat treat alloys & 6061 plate. (6) Alloy 6061 is stocked in one half commercial gauge tolerance on the plus side of the specified thickness.
