High Performance Cast Block Blackburns offer a range of thick cast block from 100mm to 1000mm thick and a plate size of up to 2500mm x 4100mm for the manufacture of very large moulds and parts. The delivered finish is band saw cut all surfaces.
Nationwide supply solutions for Aluminium and Stainless Steel... Blackburns Metals Limited is one of the UK’s leading aluminium plate specialists. From our central processing centre in Tipton, West Midlands we distribute countrywide, directly and through our network of strategically located facilities.
High Performance 5080R is manufactured from cast aluminium blocks with fine-grain structure and low porosity. After casting a heat treatment process over an extended period is performed. The resultant quality is a stress relieved and homogeneous metal.
Applications
With a range of modern equipment we handle aluminium plate sizes up to 2 metres wide and 4 metres in length and up to a thickness of 400mm in-house. We are a customer focused business and offer material to suit individual needs and requirements on time. Our range of market-leading products covers most industry requirements. We hold in stock a comprehensive range of general engineering 5083 and 6082 rolled plate in both metric and imperial sizes as well a high performance range for critical component parts, mould making and high precision applications. Blackburns Metals is a strong believer in developing World-Class partnerships. Through this strategy
