Mac Metal is excited to announce the addition of a new Amada 6K fiber laser cutting system to its arsenal of laser cutting tools. Equipped with various automation features to ensure speed, quality and accuracy, this high-speed true flying optic laser system is the latest in fiber cutting technology. However the port to the Mac platform was regarded as poorly executed. HoTMetaL went through several incarnations from versions 1 though 6. The Macintosh version survived until at least version 3. Eventually, the product line was discontinued as an HTML editor, although the user interface lives on in XMetaL, a commercial XML editor.

Hots Metal Machining
Hot rolled pickled and oiled (P&O) is a product with an enhanced surface finish due to the pickling process. The process of creating hot rolled P&O begins with basic hot rolled steel. To learn about the process of how hot rolled steel is made visit our hot rolled steel products page or the Beyond Metal Buzz.
To create the enhanced surface finish of hot rolled P&O the hot rolled goes through a pickling process. The pickling process removes the thin layer of oxidized iron (black oxide scale) that forms on the surface of the steel. This is done using acid baths. Once the acid is rinsed and the product is dried oil is applied to prevent the steel from rusting.

Formability
Used for a wide range of applications, from simple bends to complex draws or structural applications that require a specific strength level. In order to meet all the customer requirements for this variety of applications, proper selection of the steel grade and production processing practices are imperative.
