Next generation steel grades

Increasingly components are expected to operate efficiently over longer periods of time and Ovako engineering steels can facilitate production advantages with time and cost savings along with improved safety and operational life.

Offering a broad range of wear resistance steel Ovako WR-Steel includes Boron grades, to facilitate forming, shaping and welding, matching production requirements. Its use allows manufacturers to reduce costs, save on production time and gain from its wear resistant features, with its ease of subsequent quench and temper treatment.  

The material is said to have greater resistance to abrasion, including sliding wear, for prolonging surface life and greater work efficiency. 

Ovako says 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.
