Abstract (en)

A free machining, deformed, solid steel product made from molten steel containing dissolved oxygen, said solid steel product comprising: a microstructure including oxygen-containing, manganese sulfide inclusions; said manganese sulfide inclusions having a relatively globular shape due to the presence of 60-150 mg/kg (ppm) dissolved oxygen in the molten steel from which said steel product was made; and said microstructure being devoid of machinability impairing oxides of solid deoxidizing agents, in amounts sufficient to offset substantially the enhanced machinability resulting from said globular shape of the manganese sulfide inclusions.
