Next generation steel grades

Offering the broadest range of wear resistance steel Ovako WR-Steel is said to provide manufacturers with the ideal material, including Boron grades, to facilitate forming, shaping and welding, perfectly matching production requirements. Its use allows product manufacturers to reduce costs, save on production time and gain wear resistant advantages with its ease of subsequent quench and temper treatment. 

The material has greater resistance to abrasion, including sliding wear, for prolonging surface life and greater work efficiency. With optimized alloy content to allow different end product applications the steel has an improved microstructure and special mechanical properties.

Next generation M-Steel delivers improved metallurgy through modern, high-tech steel production technology that optimises the materials to deliver up to a 30% increase in cutting speeds and, in some cases, more than tripling the lifecycle of cutting tools.

Development of a new M-Steel 280, low carbon, micro alloyed steel 20MnV6 M, hollow bar makes it suitable for even more demanding applications by combining high strength with excellent machinability and weldability. Because the material is based on M-Steel technology it also facilitates higher cutting speeds and, conversely, superior tool life.
