View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.POTOMAC M is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium hot-work tool steel developed as a die material for aluminum-base die casting. Its superiority in pressure die casting is due to its excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, its excellent machinability and its freedom from scaling and distortion during heat treatment. Its well-balanced high-temperature mechanical properties make it useful for many other applications.
