Brush Wellman moldMAX LH® High Hardness Beryllium Copper Alloy

Subcategory: Copper Alloy; Nonferrous Metal; Beryllium Alloy

Material Notes:
Description: moldMAX® and PROtherm® are Brush Wellman's copper beryllium alloys specifically designed for the plastic processing industry. These alloys provide a unique combination of thermal conductivity and strength, which allow for :

• Shorter cycle times and reduced part costs
• Improved part quality leading to a substantially lower scrap rate
• 3 times faster machining rates resulting in lower cost molds and shorter delivery times
• Processing that is similar to tool steels with no substantial processing changes required
• One million + cycles leading to lower maintenance costs
• A reduction in cost for Moldmakers
• Reduced cost and high part quality at a lower piece price for Molders

moldMAX® provides strength and wear resistance similar to that of many tool steels, and a thermal conductivity that is three to four times greater than steel and comparable to aluminum. moldMAX® is typically specified for full cavity and core inserts, blow mold pinch offs, neck rings and handle inserts; cavity and core sub inserts; injection mold components; and hot runner system injection nozzles and manifolds.
