The invention relates to ultra-free-
cutting stainless steel subjected to
calcium tellurium rare earth composite treatment and a preparation method thereof. Every 100 parts of ultra-free-
cutting stainless steel subjected to
calcium tellurium rare earth composite treatment comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: less than or equal to 0.08 part of C, less than or equal to 1.00 part of Si, less than or equal to 2.0 parts of Mn, less than or equal to 0.060 part of P, 0.25-0.35 part of S, 8.5-10.0 parts of Ni, 17.0-19.0 parts of Cr, 0.002-0.008 part of Ca, 0.003-0.015 part of Te (
tellurium), 0.002-0.012 part of Re, and the balance of iron and other impurities. The preparation method comprises the steps that the waste stainless steel is sequentially subjected to
electric arc furnace
smelting, AOD refining, LF refining, continuous
steel casting, blank rolling and surface treatment so as to obtain the stainless steel. According to the ultra-free-
cutting stainless steel subjected to
calcium tellurium
rare earth composite treatment, sulfides of the stainless steel are dispersed and evenly distributed, the turning performance and the mechanical performance of the stainless steel are excellent, and meanwhile, the purposes of reducing the influence of the sulfides on the mechanical performance and improving the
machinability are achieved; and in addition, according to the preparation method, by optimizing the
smelting process, the yield of a final stainless steel product can reach 95% or above, and the stainless steel product possesses better mechanical performance.
