5754 - HABA HC5754 Anodising Quality Tooling Plate

Commercial5754 EN5754

HABA HC5754 is a naturally hard horizontally casted aluminium plate which fulfils the most demanding machinability and dimensional stability requirements. It is excellent suited for decorative and technical anodizing. The special casting process is the guarantee for the homogenous join and the vacuum tightness.

Instructions

HC5754 is well suited for machining. The chippings are short and break well. Use
tools for working aluminium with a cutting speed >2000 m/min. Threads are produced
favourably with thread moulders.

Surface Treatment

Decorative anodisation very good
Protective anodisation very good
Paintwork, coating good
Galvanic coating very good
Chemical nickel coating very good
 
HABA HC5754 is primarily suitable for decorative applications.
 
Recommendations for the anodising process can be found in the HABA anodising guide or contact your anodising company.
