Steel rings improve processes
18 Mar 2014
Near-net-shape steel rings improve processes, lower costs and cut down on waste, according to steel manufacturing firm Ovako.
Production of near-net-shape rolled and forged stainless steel rings by Ovako, using closely managed hot-rolled ring mill techniques, is helping customers to reduce process costs and cut down on waste.
Rolled and forged steel rings are vital components for applications in the rolling bearing, heavy vehicle, automotive and machine tool manufacturing industries.
Yet machining can be costly with issues of weight and generation of waste materials.
A leading producer of high quality rolled and forged rings for nearly a century, Ovako has recently invested heavily, and further expanded its capabilities, to deliver rolled and forged rings that are close to customers’ final component sizes.
To facilitate individual customer requirements, Ovako can manufacture virtually any ring profile shape in dimensions of 170-4,000 mm and weight ranges between 7-5,000 kg.
All the rings are of stable quality with tests carried out on every batch, and batch deliveries are adaptable to suit each customer’s unique requirements.
