| General Information: Ovako 061 is an ingot casted steel of BQ ( Bearing Quality). High hardness (approx. 60HRC) and high strength can be achieved after hardening due to the relatively high carbon content. The steel is suitable for various type of applications where high strength is needed. The steel grade fulfils most of the C60E standard and have a tighter composition range in order to have consistent properties. BQ-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 |
