Engineering steels

Originally developed to overcome fatigue strength issues in bearing assemblies, BQ-Steel offers high performance characteristics and increased fatigue strength a cross a wide range of applications.

Reported to have three times the fatigue performance of conventional steels, IQ-Steel (Isotropic Quality) ultra clean steels not only have the capability to handle high, complex and cyclic loading, but they can also improve the performance of critical components. This provides customers with distinct design advantages particularly where safety critical components are required.

The purity and highly consistent quality of IQ-Steel is as a result of far fewer and much smaller non-metallic inclusion within the steel’s composition. This produces ultra clean steel that performs under much greater operational conditions with properties that match more expensive remelted steels.
