Three Key Factors to Understand Machinability of Carbon and Alloy Steel
Cold Work, Thermal Treatments, and Chemical Composition are three major determinants of the machinability of steel.

Why Lead Is NOT An Alloying Element In Steel
Lead has no apparent effect on the yield strength, tensile strength, reduction of area, elongation, impact strength, or fatigue strength of steel. ”
For this reason, the addition to lead to steel is not considered an alloying addition. The addition of lead is a great way to improve the economics of machining and improving the surface finish of complex parts from steel. -
Leaded Steels-What You Should Know
Lead is an important contributor to economic machining. However, its contribution to lower cost higher quality machining come at a potential cost in the potential for voids, porosity and visible lead stringers. Carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of specifying a leaded material for machined parts.
