Abstract
Resulfurized stainless steel with high machinability and having an improved corrosion resistance, which includes, in its composition, anorthite- and/or pseudo-wollastonite- and/or gehlenite-type lime aluminosilicate inclusions combined with CrMnS inclusions, the chromium content of which is between 30% and 70%.
