Similar metals to Free-cutting steel?

Free-cutting steel has many properties, similarity can be based on any one or more of them, so there are almost countless possibilities.


What is the stiffness of free cutting steel?

Raquel between 57 to 63.


What is steel cutting?

It depends on how thick of steel you're aiming to cut. But most job shops process steel with either laser cutting (for thin steel) or waterjet cutting (for up to 12" thick)... or machining.


How can steel cutting tools be used to shape steel objects?

Steel cutting tools that are hardened by tempering them can cut softer, untempered steel. Steel that is high in carbon content can be made tougher than low-carbon steel.


What are the properties of different types of cutting tool materials?

Is Laser cutting of steel a thermal cutting process?

CO2 laser cutting carbon steel with oxygen is an exothermic (thermal) process. The oxygen used with the laser cutting burns the steel, thus assisting the cutting process. This process causes striations, or lines, to form at the cutting edge and provides lower cut quality but faster cutting. In contrast, when cutting stainless steel with nitrogen, only the heat from a CO2 laser performs the melting (operating in the far infrared region at 10600 nanometers). The nitrogen assist gas pushes the melted material down and out of the way, leaving the cut that is typically a polished edge.

What saw blades cuts stainless steel?

You need an 'abrasive fibre cutting disc', rather than a saw. I usually have one in my small angle grinder for cutting steel.


What mild steel?

It is the most common form of steel. It is not brittle. It is cheap. It is often used when large amounts of steel are needed. Mild steel is a carbon steel typically with a maximum of 0.25% Carbon and 0.4%-0.7% manganese, 0.1%-0.5% Silicon and some + traces of other elements such as phosphorous, it may also contain lead (free cutting mild steel) or sulphur (again free cutting steel called re-sulphurised mild steel) Many everyday objects are made of mild steel, even some of your pots and pans are. Mild steel (a so-called carbon steel) is a general term for a range of low carbon (a maximum of about 0.3%) steels that have good strength and can be bent, worked or can be welded into an endless variety of shapes for uses from vehicles (like cars and ships) to building materials
