* Delivery condition: as rolled

PROPERTIES :

Machinability:

This steel grade is marked by a good machinability on machine tools and by an easy fragmentation
of chips.

Weldability:

Due to the high sulphur and phophorus content free-cutting steels not destined to heat treatment are
not generally recommended for welding.

addition, for example Pb=0,15%÷0,35%

Weldability:

It can be welded quite well without any precautions.

Hardenability:

Low hardenability; core quenching in water till a diameter of 12-15 mm; as far as bigger diameters
are concerned, it hardens only till a certain depth, inversely proportional to diameter, like all non-
alloy steels with medium-high carbon content.

Weldability:

Due to the medium-high carbon content it can be welded with some precautions.

Hardenability:

Low hardenability; it shows intermediate features between those of steels with medium and those of
steels with high carbon content; therefore it is not easy to obtain the required features by quenching
in oil and the quenching in water can result in cracking.

PROPERTIES :

Strain strength and resistance to wear :

This steel grade is generally destined to applications in which a high strain strength and a high
resistance to wear under high alternate loads are required. Therefore its main components must have
a high hardness, a high elastic limit and a high fatigue strength.

Hardenability:

Good hardenability; hardening must allow quenching in oil to reduce to the minimum the risk of
hardening cracks or distortions and to minimize the subsequent grinding operations.
