In most steels it is desired to eliminate the particles formed by the reaction of the deoxidizer with the oxygen.... Free machining steels are exceptions where many small uniformly distributed particles of certain types are desired. These particles lubricate the cutting tool, prevent welding of the cut chip to the tool tip, and cause the chip to break into short pieces. Additions of lead, sulfur, manganese sulfide, selenium, and tellurium to the steel improve the machining properties of steels in this manner. 1, record 2, English, - free%20machining%20steel
