Abstract (en)

A bismuth-sulfuric (to be called "Bi-S" below) free-machinable steel showing a superior high temperature ductility, and a manufacturing method therefor, are disclosed, in which surface defects do not occur at a low rolling temperature. The Bi-S free-machinable steel with a superior high temperature ductility includes: in wt%, 0.05-0.15% of C, 0.5-2.0% of Mn, 0.15-0.40% of S, 0.01-0.10% of P, 0.003-0.020% of O, 0.03-0.30% of Bi, 0.01% or less of Si, 0.0009% or less of Al, and a balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurities; an MnS inclusion with MnS and Bi absorbed into it; and a metallic Bi inclusion. In another aspect, the free machinable steel includes 0.02-0.1% of Ti and 0.0030-0.0100% of N in addition to the above elements. In still another aspect, the free machinable steel includes 0.0050-0.0150% of B and 0.0070% or less of N in addition to the above elements.
