Sanmac® stainless steels
The new generation of Sanmac®stainless steels present even better opportunities to reduce tool wear and increase cutting speeds, improving productivity and significantly reducing cost per produced item.
In Sanmac®materials, machinability has been improved without jeopardizing properties such as corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The non-metallic inclusions in Sanmac®steels are of great significance to the improved machinability. In addition to sulphides, Sanmac®steels contain oxide inclusions that improve chip breaking and reduce tool wear.
FAQ - Sanmac®stainless steels
What is Sanmac®?
Stainless steel with excellent machinability. Sanmac®stainless steels are also characterized by consistent quality from melt to melt and properties which accord exactly with the specifications.
What makes it more easily machinable?
The optimized non-metallic inclusions and consistent chemical composition.
What are the advantages with Sanmac®?
- 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
