ASTM A 582 Standard Specification for
Free-Machining Stainless
Machining
Steel Bars
EN 1.4305 is a Free-Machining Stainless Steel
and is designed for further processing by
machining. The steel is alloyed with 0,15 – 0,30 %
sulphur which creates a considerable quantity of
sulphides in the material. The sulphides improve
the machinability, and particulary chip-breaking,
but have the drawback of substantially degrading
weldability, toughness, corrosion resistance and
hot workability.
Welding
EN 1.4305 is designed to optimize machinability.
The high sulphur content makes it susceptible to
hot cracking during welding and as such welding
of this steel is not recommended.
