Free-cutting steel

Free-cutting steel is the ideal material for machining on automated tool machines, for example for turning, milling and drilling.

For components that are subjected to higher stresses, temperable Free-cutting steel is often the optimal solution. The high carbon content enables tempering processes with which you can achieve very robust properties.

Steel alloys with lead or sulphur specifically lead to small brittle inclusions where small metal chips can break off more easily. This enables short chip breakages. The result is high speeds and large quantities, for example when machining on your turning machines. And thus more speed, productivity and economic efficiency.
