General Information
Ovako 832 is a through hardening bearing steel that is mainly used for medium sized bearing rings, but can also be used for machine components that require high tensile strength and high hardness.
- 40 mm maximum wall thickness for through hardening
- Used for martensitic hardening
- Can be induction hardened
- Good machinability in soft annealed condition
- Machiable in hardened condition using hard-turning techniques (CBN tools)
- Ovako 832 is weldable if pre-heated, otherwise risk of hot-cracking
- Very good dimension stability
832K - Bearing quality (BQ) variant
BQ-Steel®
BQ-Steel® is a bearing quality clean steel optimized for fatigue strength and is also ideal for new design solutions outside the bearing industry.
