General requirements for delivery
Not covered by any standard specification, but it can be expected that the material will conform to the requirements of ASTM A 6.
These grades comprise a group of steels that have been made with increase sulfur levels to provide enhanced machinability and increased tool life for applications with extensive machining requirements. The additional sulfur results in higher level of manganese sulfide inclusions, which provide a lubricating effect and contribute to chip breakage. Surface finish and dimensional stability may also be improved.
