Resulphurized machinable steel is widely used as material for industrial machinery parts due to its better machinability compared to other categories of steels. The conventional resulphurized machinable steel contains lead to improve its machinability. However, with the growing consciousness of environmental issues in the recent years, there is a tendency towards eliminating lead because it seems to be one of the pollutants of our environment.
Read how this dilemma can be overcome in developing resulphurized machinable steel free of lead without deterioration of machinability.
Which results are obtained from experiments as far as the mechanical properties and machinability of Al-contained Ca-treated resulphurized machinable steels are concerned, in comparison to lead-free machining steel?
