25CrMo4

All

General Information

25CrMo4 is a Cr and Mo alloyed quench and tempering steel with low carbon content. The steel combine high strength with high toughness.

322A - is an ingot cast variant .
6014 and 6016 are both M-steel

Delivered as rolled, soft annealed, normalized or quench and tempered. Weldable under certain conditions.

IQ-Steel®
IQ-Steel® is an isotropic quality ultra clean steel optimized for high fatigue strength under multi axial loading.

M-Steel^®

The basis for the concept is that non-metallic inclusions are modified and controlled with calcium treatment in a way to minimize tool wear and to maximize chip control in machining operations.

Our M-Steel treatment can be applied to any steel grade.

For further reading about our M-steel concept see our home page.

* Designation followed by "*" is not an official EN standard grade but named according to the rules in EN 10027.

SUSTAINABILITY-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA

At Ovako sustainability and reduction of our environmental impact is a major focus in everything we do.
Further information is found here.

In many international comparisons the crude steel Scope 1-2 emission is a key parameter, ie. the CO₂ emission from the steel works itself.
As of 1 January 2022 we carbon offset all our scope 1 and 2 volume shown below.

Steel works	Hofors	Smedjebacken	Imatra
CO2e/kg	120	62	76

To get the full picture of our products environmental impact we have to look at all of our CO₂ emission sources.
Not only the steel work Scope 1-2 itself, but all operations downstream in our production, heating and heat treatment furnaces etc (full scope 1-2) as well as all the emission from input material, eg. alloys, scope 3.

Steel Grade	Format	Condition	Scope 1-3 (CO2e kg /1000 kg steel)	Climate compensated Net emission = Scope 3 (CO2e kg /1000 kg steel) Scope 1 - 2 = 0 (compensated)
322	Round bar	+AR	615	219
322	Round bar	+QT	626	220
322	Tube,wall	+AR	632	230
322	Tube,wall	+QT	643	231
9224	Round bar	+AR	424	225
6014, MoC 210 M	Round bar	+AR	520	236
6014, MoC 210 M	Round bar	+QT	772	283

As of 1 January 2022 we use carbon offset for all our scope 1- 2 emissions, so in practice the climate compensated data is the same as the full Scope 3 level.
All above data are to be seen as typical values for the specified format and condition. Detailed information about your specific product please contact your sales contact.
