Tube stainless steel Sanmac®

aeronautical

These stainless steels are engineered for superior machinability, enabling higher cutting speeds and reduced tool wear while maintaining corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Machinability has been improved without compromising essential properties. The steels contain optimized non-metallic inclusions (sulphides and oxides) that improve chip breaking and reduce tool wear. Consistent chemical composition and melt-to-melt uniformity further support predictable machining performance.

Advantages

• Increased cutting speeds and feed rates, resulting in better machine utilization and reduced fixed cost per item produced
• Less tool wear, resulting in more items cut per insert edge
• Reduction of set-up times, facilitating long series production with the same cutting data

FAQ

• What is Sanmac®? Stainless steel with excellent machinability characterized by consistent quality from melt to melt and properties that meet specifications.
• What makes it more easily machinable? The optimized non-metallic inclusions combined with a consistent chemical composition improve chip formation and reduce tool wear.
