M3 which is short for Macro Molecular Metal is made up of metal that has been deconstructed to the macro molecular level, re-alloyed and then reconstructed creating a completely new metal composite material. Metal deconstruction requires very specialized equipment (see photo) that super heats the metal and then shoots it with water, gas or plasma causing it to explode into molecules of specific shape and size. Combining high concentrations of this macro molecular metal with highly refined chemical binders creates a chemical reaction that causes the molecules to crosslink forming a new and in many cases superior molecualr structure.
One of the many unique characteristics of M3 is that it is electronically depleted and will not cause electrolysis within its own structure. This means that new combinations of metals, even those combining dissimilar metals are now possible. Scientists and engineers can now create lightweight metal composites that combine the properties of many metals whether they are compatible or not. The founders of M3ci discovered that this technology allowed them to modernize the ancient Japanese art of "Mokume Gane" (which means "wood grained metal") as well as "Damascus Steel". Beautiful “M3 Mokume Gane” , “M3 Damascus Steel” and exotic pattern metals of unlimited combinations are not only possible, but financially viable as the M3 process is much more cost effective than traditional “Mokume” methods.
The new composite metal has the same visual characteristics of the source metal with some very unique new characteristics some of which are noted as follows:
