Sandmeyer Steel achieves improved machinability through a special ladle metallurgy of molten steel, enriched with a calcium treatment that controls the size, composition and distribution of oxide inclusions. These inclusions are key to the process - acting as lubricants that make it possible for you to significantly increase feed rates.
And E-Z Drill gives you the same yield, tensile, elongation, hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance you get from standard austenitic stainless steels.

THICKNESSES & GRADES
E-Z Drill is stocked in thicknesses of 3/8" (4.8 mm) to 6" (152.4 mm) and in types 304, 304H, 304L, 316 and 316L.
MATERIAL CERTIFICATIONS
E-Z Drill can be certified to ASTM, ASME and QQS-766 specifications.
INCREASED PERFORMANCE
If you're using carbide drilling tools for drilling, reaming or grooving holes, E-Z Drill makes it possible to increase feed rates by as much as 30% without increasing drill wear.

Applications suggested for the materials are described only to help readers make their own evaluations and decisions, and are neither guarantees nor to be construed as express or implied warranties of suitability for these or other applications. Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloy and Titanium products are classified as sheet if the thickness of the metals is less than 3/16¡± (4.7mm). If the thickness of the metal is 3/16¡± (4.7mm) or more, then it is considered a plate.
