Heat Treatment: Ensuring Optimal Steel Performance
The final heat treatment of a steel product is a crucial process that determines its mechanical properties, durability, and overall performance. A consistent and repeatable steel chemistry is essential for achieving reliable results in heat treatment, ensuring that the material meets the highest industry standards.
At Ovako, we collaborate closely with heat treatment specialists to establish a seamless and efficient supply chain for high-performance steel products. Our commitment is to be the most reliable supply chain partner, offering a wide range of steel grades produced through three distinct metallurgical routes.
Steel Solutions for Every Heat Treatment Requirement
Ovako meets diverse customer specifications by utilizing both ingot- and continuous-cast processes, ensuring flexibility in bloom and billet sizes at competitive pricing for all performance levels. Our investment in advanced steel manufacturing, including bar peeling and heat treatment technologies, has enhanced our capabilities. Since 2019, we have been supplying vacuum degassed steel from the Smedjebacken billet casting route, further strengthening our product offerings.
Superior Quality for Heat-Treated Microstructures
Ovako provides steel suitable for various heat-treated microstructures. Our state-of-the-art non-destructive testing (NDT) ensures that every delivered product meets the highest quality standards. Additionally, we offer customized logistics solutions and seamless commercial systems integration to optimize efficiency for our customers.
Thanks to our tightly controlled production process, from initial melting to final delivery, Ovako’s steel products are known for their stable material quality and narrow process parameters. This level of precision results in highly repeatable hardenability and improved machinability, making our steel an excellent choice for any heat treatment application.
Digital Tools for Heat Treatment Optimization
To further support our customers, Ovako offers a digital Heat Treatment guide, designed to help you save time and reduce costs. This tool predicts how a specific steel grade composition will perform after heat treatment, enabling you to make informed decisions about material selection. Additionally, our web-based steel selection tools allow you to explore hundreds of high-quality steel products, ensuring that you find the ideal match for your specific needs.
