Product Description

Material Specifications & Technical Breakthrough

 

As a specialized free-cutting steel grade within the EN 10087 and DIN EN 10277 standard systems, 11SMn30 seamless tubes represent Tenjan’s significant technological achievement in overcoming production challenges associated with high-sulfur steel processing. Our breakthrough enables full-process autonomous production from billets to finished tubes, with dimensional ranges covering outer diameter 15-70mm, wall thickness 1-20mm, and maximum length of 6 meters.

 

Material Composition & International Equivalents 

 

The optimized chemical composition ensures superior machining characteristics:

 

• Carbon: ≤0.14% (ensuring good plasticity and weldability)

 

• Manganese: 0.90-1.30% (forming beneficial MnS inclusions)

 

• Sulfur: 0.27-0.33% (core free-cutting element)

 

• Phosphorus: ≤0.11% (auxiliary cutting element)

 

• Silicon: ≤0.05% (strictly controlled to maintain cutting performance)

 

International equivalent grades include:

 

• China: Y15 (GB standards)

 

• United States: 12L14 (ASTM standards, lead-containing)

 

• Japan: SUM23 (JIS standards)

 

• Europe: 1.0715 (EN material numbering system)

 

Machining Performance & Technical Advantages 

• Exceptional Machining Characteristics: Tool Life Enhancement: MnS inclusions act as solid lubricants, reducing tool wear by 60% and decreasing tool change frequency

 

• Processing Efficiency: Cutting speeds can be increased by 30-50% with reduced energy consumption

 

• Chip Control: Produces short, brittle “C-shaped” chips that prevent tool wrapping and ensure machining safety

 

• Surface Quality: Achieves surface roughness of Ra1.6-Ra3.2, reducing subsequent polishing requirements

 

•Mechanical Properties & Environmental Benefits:

 

· Tensile Strength: 390-540 MPa

 

· Yield Strength: ≥275 MPa

 

· Elongation: ≥36% (hot-rolled condition)

 

· Hardness: ≤170HB (annealed condition)

 

· Lead-Free Composition: Compliant with EU RoHS directive, serving as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional leaded free-cutting steels
