Features:
- Does not require operations such as quenching and tempering and subsequent operations such as straightening, grinding and deburring, as desired mechanical properties are already available as supplied
- Available in Green Steel quality
- High tensile strengths and yield strengths that are in range of quenched and tempered steels
- Enable high cutting speeds
- Low residual stresses
- Dimensionally stable
- Short-breaking chips
- Additional heat treatment not necessary
- Machinability with high strengths
- Shorter cycle times in part production
- Longer tool life is longer
