Raising the bar
Cromax 280X, a low-carbon, chromed steel bar from Ovako enables the design of lighter, cost effective hydraulic and pneumatic components. The company says comprehensive control of the manufacturing process, from steel melting to finished bar, has enabled it to achieve yield and tensile strengths that are up to 20% higher than normal, while retaining the excellent machinability and weldability of micro-alloyed, 20MnV6 steel grade.
