ALUMINUM A356-T6 PLATE COVER DESIGN
ALUMINUM A356-T6 PLATE COVER DESIGN
(OP)
Hi everybody:
I need to select a aluminum cover for a floor box in a convention center and I'm not sure about the calculations.
I need a strong but no heavy cover. Could you help me telling the way to get the procedure to know how many pound (kilos) an aluminum plate can support?
A 16 1/2" x 16 1/2" x 1" A356-T5 aluminum plate, for example.
The cover is for a 16" x 16" hole.

from a casting design, flat top plate say 5/16" thick
the bottom would be a web layout say on 4" cc
opptional alloy is 319.0-T6 which is 10% stronger
For casting help feel free to call us
You need to pick a load ,then it can be designed to that
with a safty factor built in
