General Information

Ovako 825 is a through hardening bearing steel that is mainly used for medium sized bearing rings, but it can also be used for machine components that require high tensile strength, hardness and toughness.

  • Through hardenability corresponding to a ring with approximately 30mm wall thickness (≈Ø50mm bar), quenched in oil
  • Suitable for martensitic or banitic hardening
  • Good machinability in soft annealed condition
  • Good dimensional stability

BQ-Steel®

825B - Standard

825T - With a controlled low sulphur content to minimize the number of sulphide inclusions. Reduced carbon content and tighter chemical      composition ranges 

IQ-Steel® 

825Q - Isotropic properties (IQ) and better fatigue strength due to higher cleanliness levels, and a finer size and distribution of non-metallic inclusions

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.

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