Free Cutting Steels
Free cutting steel are those iron – carbon alloys that are easy to be worked upon during machining
operation. In more technical terms Free cutting steel has a higher percentage of Sulphur and
phosphorus which is different from steel that has a higher percentage of carbon. These steels are
defined in standard EN10087. The high Sulphur and phosphorus content in free cutting steel makes it
easy to cut through this kind of steel. This property of Free cutting steel makes its application very
important in the Component manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Free cutting steel is mixed with
tellurium to make an alloy, and to make it strong and solid. This enhances the mechanical property of
the free cutting steel. Some essential criteria for making
Free-Cutting-Steels
- Tool wear as low as possible during cutting times
- Sufficient surface quality
- Low cutting forces and temperature to allow for the application of sensitive cutting tools
and machines. - Short, light breaking chips to ensure undisturbed chip removal
These properties make for better application of free cutting steel. Considering that free cutting steel
has good machinability qualities, they are used for rapid production on multiple spindle automatic
lathe of finely finished components.
Bright Bars is a popular type of free cutting steel that is commonly used by many industries in the
production of some very critical components in high numbers. These free cutting steel Bright bars are
used for making nuts, bolts, spare parts for the automobile industries and for making some precision
components for various other industries. There are various grades in Free Cutting Steel & Semi Free
Cutting Steel like
- EN1A (Leaded) or (Non-Leaded)
- 11SMNPB30 or 11SMN30
- 12L14 or 1214
- EN8M
These various grades with specific benefits and are suitable for different types of components.
