Soft free-cutting steel
Our soft free-cutting steels are characterized by particularly deep carbon penetration and an enhanced sulfur content. The deep carbon penetration means that this free-cutting steel is more readily machined than other steels while still retaining a significant hardness penetration depth. In addition, our soft free-cutting steels are magnetically soft materials.
