New design possibilities
Published: 18 February, 2016
Cleaner steels by OVAKO are said to be opening up new design opportunities and extending service life for high performance parts. Ovako says today, more than ever, high performance components are expected to withstand higher loads over longer periods of time and the company says its clean steels can facilitate significant opportunities to rethink design solutions for improved safety, time and cost savings in a range of applications.
Ovako says IQ-Steel has minimised the size of inclusions which dramatically increases its fatigue strength in all directions, while BQ-Steel is the more traditional choice for improved fatigue strength in demanding applications. Both groups of materials can help customers in many other industries to achieve lighter, stronger, more efficient and compact component designs.

As the pressure mounts for designers to develop smaller, lighter and stronger components, OVAKO says its clean engineering steels, with their increased fatigue strength, can turn possibilities into reality. The company says today, more than ever size and strength are major factors in component design and engineering steels from Ovako facilitate the production of stronger, lighter, more efficient and compact components, also with its increased fatigue strength BQ-Steel offers outstanding high performance characteristics for all types of applications.
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 and says the powerful and exciting digital platform allows customers to search and find the most suitable steel for their applications.
MAKITA says its 10.8v CXT tool range is growing in popularity, driven by the very compact size and low weight advantages combined with outstanding performance and durability. For example, the company says the new Makita TD111D impact driver with brushless motor delivers an outstanding 135Nm of tightening torque yet weighs just 1.1kgs with an overall length of only 135mm from chuck to back of body and continues with performance like this the 10.8v CXT range is proving attractive to all property installation professionals.
HENKEL says its latest introduction is another milestone for its LOCTITE brand. The company says it has developed a new range of Universal Structural Bonders whose many attributes have been achieved through new, patented hybrid technology and this innovative approach substantially extends the application scope of these adhesives which also afford improved health and safety benefits.
