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®
BQ-Steel® is a bearing quality clean steel optimized for fatigue strength and is also ideal for new design solutions outside the bearing industry.

SUSTAINABILITY-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA

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

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)
