Automat steels are suitable for series machining. High sulfur (S) content and lead (Pb) addition resulted in small and brittle chip formation. Vending steels are preferred in machines suitable for high speed serial production. The processed materials have very good surface properties. Due to its easy chip removal, it provides both the advantage of short machining time and long cutting tool life to the manufacturer. Automat steel can be applied to heat treatment if desired
