Free-cutting steels not intended for heat treatment are steels in which the low carbon content allows the maximum workability to be achieved, and are therefore suitable for high-speed machining. Among the most common in the free-cutting steel category, they are designed to be implemented at the thermal state in which they are provided, without further treatments. It is increasingly customary to also use these steels for some thermochemical treatments of surface hardening: In this case, an in-depth knowledge of the process and some precautions is necessary. Bimeks Celik offers a range of free-cutting steels not intended for heat treatment that are able to satisfy various machining requirements.
