Mining
In mining and construction, a wide range of different machines and tools may be used. But they all have one thing in common: they must withstand many types of aggressive conditions, involving high loads, fatigue, and wear. They also need to be suitable for fabrication in a way that allows high productivity and high repeatability.
High strength engineering steel for mining and construction is a core area of expertise for us. Our service is founded on four main pillars: Performance, Productivity, Flexibility and Technical Support.
Performance - you can rely on our steel to withstand the aggressive working conditions in the mining industry, including high loads, fatigue and wear.
Productivity - our steels are optimized for ease of forming and machining with minimum waste and a high level of repeatability.
Flexibility – we can deliver our steel in a variety of forms including hot- and cold-rolled tube, bar, in your wish’s metallurgy and steel grade.
Technical Support – Ovako is much more than a steel supplier. We work in close collaboration with our mining customers to support them throughout the product development process, from selecting the ideal steel grade to optimizing the production process so that they save both materials and production time.
Ovako’s steel portfolio meets the needs of both production and applications for just about every product and tool used in the world of mining. From down the hole (DTH) casings to top hammer shank or drill bit, hydraulic breakers and grinding media, you’ll find our steel in use at mining sites across the globe. And it always delivers the highest level of performance, day in and day out.
Sustainability is a key aspect for us. We know that reducing global CO2 emissions demands smarter product solutions and rethinking on many levels: more performance benefits per kilogram of product, less raw material, and substituting fossil fuel energy sources with primarily fossil-free electricity.
