N/A
- One-third the weight of steel
- Faster and easier setup
- Less wear and tear on the machine (clutch, brake, ram, ...)
- Easy machinability means 20-35% increased feed rates
- Uses existing conventional cuttings tools
- Draws heat away from tooling, then dissipates heat quickly
- Rust free, least susceptible to elements
- Impervious to typical (water soluble) die lubes
- Non-magnetic - good environment for in-die sensing
- Stress relieved in the process - a stable material before/after machining
- Easily recyclable
