Applications
- Used in the manufacturing processes of screws where high machinability is required, in the manufacture of bolts and nuts for the automotive industry.
- Application for multiple industrial uses that require high precision machining.
- Not recommended for applications requiring welding.
- Increases the productivity of transformation processes, with excellent finishes; especially recommended for work on automatic lathes.
Characteristics:
- Desulfurized and rephosphorized steel with high machinability, the addition of phosphorus increases machinability and helps form short chips.
- Unlike SAE/AISI 12L14, it does not contain Lead, but this does not detract from its performance. Applications for this grade of steel are those where strength properties can be sacrificed for machining properties, fasteners, nuts, bolts, etc.
- Excellent machining properties with splendid finishes.
