General Information: Ovako 832 is a through hardening bearing steel that is mainly used for medium sized bearing rings, but can also be used for machine components that require high tensile strength and high hardness.- 40 mm maximum wall thickness for through hardening
- Used for martensitic hardening
- Can be induction hardened
- Good machinability in soft annealed condition
- Machiable in hardened condition using hard-turning techniques (CBN tools)
- Ovako 832 is weldable if pre-heated, otherwise risk of hot-cracking
- Very good dimension stability
832K - Bearing quality (BQ) variantBQ-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 BQsteel 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 |
