Traditional free-machining stainless steel grades are enhanced with sulfur (S) additions, creating manganese- rich sulfides or selenides that act as natural chip breakers. These inclusions enable higher machining speeds, extended tool life, and improved efficiency. They also act as solid lubricants at the tool-workpiece interface, reducing friction and delivering superior surface finishes—perfect for precision machining needs.
