När vi firar Internationella kvinnodagen över hela världen är det med glädje vi framhäver de extraordinära kvinnorna hos oss.

In the competitive world of car racing, teams are always looking for ways to reduce the weight of their cars without sacrificing reliability. To this end, Mats Karlsson, owner and founder of a workshop specialized in designing transmission components for racing cars, has been producing components that are 40% lighter and with twice the lifespan compared to products manufactured from standard steel.

For Tinsley Bridge Ltd., a leading manufacturer of steel torsion and suspension bars for the automotive industry, its product goals have always been optimum strength and light weight – a challenging combination.

A series of trade shows for the engineering contracting industry has prompted us at Ovako to reflect on the value of meeting face to face. We joined the Alihankinta Subcontractor, Tampere in September, MSV International Engineering Fair in Brno in October and Wire in Dusseldorf in June and are currently planning for the Elmia Subcontractor fair in Sweden on 15 – 17 November.

Ovakos skrotbaserade stål möjliggör högpresterande fästelement, minskar koldioxidavtrycket med upp till 80 % och driver hållbara lösningar för fordonsindustrin.

Tillsammans med Linde Gas AB har Ovako genomfört världens första framgångsrika fullskaliga försök att värma stål med vätgas innan valsning. Se artikel på engelska.

Hållbart stål kan hjälpa OEM-företag (Original Equipment Manufacturer) att leverera klimatsmarta produkter och minska deras totala koldioxidavtryck – samtidigt som de attraherar miljömedvetna kunder och uppfyller allt striktare miljökrav.

Ovako is now able to combine the advantages of forging and rolling processes to produce black bar at outer diameters up to 230 mm. Jimmy Gran, VP and Head of Product Unit Black Bar - Ovako BU Hofors- Hellefors, explains the benefits of the new production flow.
