Research Summary
Free-cutting steel refers to a specific type of steel alloy designed for improved machinability, particularly during high-speed machining processes such as turning, milling, or drilling. The term ＂free-cutting＂ implies that the steel is easy to cut, and it achieves this characteristic by incorporating elements that form small, finely divided chips during machining, reducing tool wear and improving cutting efficiency. One common type of free-cutting steel is leaded steel, which contains small amounts of lead as a sulfur-aiding additive to enhance machinability. The presence of lead promotes the breaking of chips and reduces friction during cutting operations. Free-cutting steels find application in various manufacturing industries, including automotive, electronics, and precision engineering, where efficient machining and high productivity are essential requirements.
The major global manufacturers of Free Cutting Steel include Nippon Steel, ArcelorMittal, Akiyama Seiko, Saarstahl, POSCO, SeAH, Stilma, Rodacciai, Fangda Special Steel, Thyssenkrupp, Ansteel, Jiangsu Shagang, Kobe Steel, Henan Jiyuan Iron and Steel, Ambhe, Dongbei Special Steel, Steeltec, ORI Martin, Sichuan Liaofu Special Steel, etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
