Greater design advantages
Published: 17 December, 2014
OVAKO reports it has launched WR-Steel, with high wear resistance, offering manufacturers greater design advantages. Ovako reports WR-Steel by is a classification of steels with proven superior wear resistance, which combined with its broad product programme, offers customers a range of design advantages and heat treatment possibilities.
WR-Steel from Ovako is offered as hot-rolled round or flat bar, special profiles and tubes, or as grinding media. Its advantages cover a comprehensive range of hardness levels and hardness intervals (350 – 650 HV), dimensions and steels grades. Boron steel is a large part of the WR-Steel offering, but it also includes grinding media and other mining solutions.
