Greater reliability
Published: 22 May, 2015
As companies push the limits of performance in cold climates and sub-zero environments, demand for strong, safe and well-proven materials is on the rise.
Components like pipeline bolts, hydraulic parts and offshore lifting devices must offer greater reliability at -50°C or lower sub-zero temperatures. SZ-Steel by OVAKO is reported to be proven to retain its properties in temperatures down to -40°C and beyond and, in extreme cases, is well-tested to withstand temperatures down to -101°C. As one of the Ovako attribute brands, the company says SZ-Steel designates a grouping of steel grades across a range of products in its portfolio. SZ-Steel, which stands for sub-zero, is a family of steel grades with low impurity levels and controlled grain size that are specifically developed for use in extreme environments.

OVAKO says visitors to Subcon 2017, the UK’s subcontract manufacturing supply chain show dedicated to outsourced engineering services, now in its 41st year, can take part in special interactive demonstrations of its Steel Navigator. The powerful digital platform allows customers to search and find the most suitable steel for their applications.
OVAKO is among the exhibitors at this year’s SPE Offshore Europe in Aberdeen, UK, where it says it will demonstrate how excellent yield, tensile and high impact strength and uniform properties in its high quality engineering steels can address the technical challenges facing today’s oil and gas industry.
WR-Steel from OVAKO is offered as hot-rolled round or flat bar, special profiles and tubes, or as grinding media. The company says its advantages cover a comprehensive range of hardness levels and hardness intervals (350 – 650 HV), dimensions and steels grades.
