| General Information: Ovako 245 is an ingot cast case hardening steel with high toughness of the type SAE 3311. It fulfills Ovako internal BQ-Steel demands ensuring a high microscopic and macroscopic cleanliness. BQ-Steel(Bearing Quality) is a bearing quality clean steel optimized for fatigue strength by a strict control of steel cleanliness. BQ-steel is also ideal for new design solutions in a wide array of demanding applications outside the bearing industry that require longer performance and higher loads. The BQ steel offer is the result of the Ovako clean steel program. Purity of production means that the material has significantly smaller inclusions compared to conventional steel and, as a result, the fatigue strength of the steel is increased dramatically. Use of the material allows components to be manufactured in smaller sizes. The BQ-steel has for decades been the problem-solver. Information provided by Ovako |
