Free cutting steels

Efficient steel processing requires high quality materials optimized for machine tools for turning and milling. To this end and to enhance our customers' competitive advantage, we develop steels characterized both by their high mechanical strength and outstanding machining properties as well as smooth, precision surfaces. These qualities ensure high cutting speeds while simultaneously minimizing machine tool wear.

Our free cutting steels are employed everywhere where precision parts need to function safely and reliably for many years, combined with rational manufacturing requirements and inexpensive component costs. In other words, they are used with simple components and sensitive applications – for example in the automotive industry in areas such as brake or hydraulic systems.
