* Delivery condition: as rolled.
Machinability:
This steel grade generally shows a quite good machinability on machine tools; machinability decreases with the increase of carbon, silicon and manganese content.
Weldability:
Due to the high sulphur and phophorus content free-cutting steels for direct hardening are not recommended for welding.
