Solid Aluminum Overview
Burr free holes begin with Solid Aluminum. Panel after panel, hit after hit, Solid Aluminum will enable the drilling of consistent, high quality holes.

Solid Aluminum reduces heat, eliminates burrs, and improves registration resulting in higher quality holes, enhanced productivity and an improved bottom line.

Tension leveled Solid Aluminum meets any flatness requirement and is degreased for contamination free drilling or lamination.

Solid Aluminum is offered in a range of thicknesses to match specific chip load applications and is cut and tooled to individual requirements.

Advantages

• Higher Brinell hardness. Higher yield and shear strength.
• Tension leveled and degreased for contamination free holes, closer tolerances and improved registration.
• A superior heat sink for the drill bit.
• The inherent high melting temperature of approximately 650° C provides for clean drill bits and quick ejection of chips.
• Permits lower surface feet per minute drilling and an increased feed rate.
• Eliminates hole wall smearing thereby increasing the life of the drill bit.
• Eliminates burrs by reducing the back pressure on the drill bit upon entry.
• Varying thicknesses from 0.18 mm (0.007") to 0.38 mm (0.015") for specific chip load applications.
• Recyclable.

Specifications
Solid Aluminum is composed of a high grade aluminum alloy that is fully hardened.
