1215 Free Cutting Steel is a carbon steel, which is a carbon steel. Unlike conventional carbon steel, it adds more sulfur to the steel. Sulfur belongs to the free-cutting elements, which can improve the cutting performance, plasticity, and enhance the strength of steel.
The sulfur element in steel will and iron generated FeS easily form low melting point co-crystal with γ-Fe. In processing (1000 ~ 1200 ℃), the co-crystal melting, resulting in steel rupture at high temperatures, a phenomenon known as "hot brittle". Seamless steel tube in the round steel perforation before the round steel will be heated to more than 1200 degrees, 1215 material perforated out of the embryonic tube at this temperature will be cracked, chunks of flaking, which has led to the market is rarely 1215 steel tube manufacturers, most of them are the production of 1215 cold-drawn round bar, section steel manufacturers.
Changzhou Tenjan Steel Tube Co., Ltd. is a factory with 20 years' experience in seamless steel tube production, with strong R&D capability, accepting small batch customized special seamless steel tubes and profiles from customers. In the past two years, through continuous testing, accumulating data, and remodeling production equipment, we can now produce seamless steel tubes made of 1215 material, and the specifications that can be produced: OD 20-70mm, wall thickness 2-13mm. Welcome to inquire.
