M-1 Product Features and Benefits
Density: M-1 offers a very tight equiaxed grain structure that is metallurgically sound throughout. This is achieved using modern technologies in casting, cooling and homogenization processes.
Brinell Hardness: Highly consistent throughout the entire plate regardless of thickness.
Machinability: Aluminium machining rates are over 3 times that of steel and M-1 is rated very high among aluminium alloys. M-1 has the capability of achieving an excellent surface finish.
Weldability: Maintains its mechanical properties in and adjacent to weld areas without additional heat treatment unlike wrought alloys.

Dimensional Stability: Unlike wrought alloys, M-1 maintains dimensional stability during machining without stress relieving.
Hardcoat Anodize: M-1 conforms well to hard-coat anodizing as well as Nickel Coating.
Cost Efficiency: Decreases production costs and increases productivity better than tool steel or wrought aluminium molds. High thermal conductivity allows for shorter cycle times.
