Sulfur steel: Trafilerie Assi to expand its portfolio

Lead is one of the main alloying elements in steel because it reduces the friction between the tool and the chip, as well as the formation of built up edges (BUE). Although the European standard allows a Pb content between 0.20% and 0.35%, companies (especially in the United States of America) have been requesting lead-free materials in recent years.

Keeping up with the times and trends in the metalworking field, Trafilerie Assi is expanding its dimensional range of round and hexagonal bars in 11SMn30 sulfur steel without lead content. This material is perfectly suitable for the most varied applications in the automotive, hydraulics, heavy equipment, and domestic appliance industries, constituting an excellent alternative to lead steel.

With Trafilerie Assi, the customer doesn’t buy sight unseen: contact the company using the references on the side to receive samples for testing and verification.
