Valves for compressors and shock absorbers A compressor valve must function perfectly, day after day, year after year, under conditions of very high stress. This calls for steel of the very highest quality. A special operation in our metallurgical process enables us to achieve the high degree of purity required for valve steel. Strip is available in the hardened and tempered condition, both in stainless chromium steel and in unalloyed carbon steel. Sandvik grade Our strip steel for valves has a high degree of: • Bending and impact fatigue strength • Flatness • Surface quality • Wear...

Spring applications A spring has to meet many exacting requirements. First of all, it must provide the required spring force. It also has to function reliably during a long service life, even if its working environment is corrosive or demanding in other ways. Furthermore, it is an advantage if the spring is easy to manufacture. Therefore, formability of the material is very important. Sandvik Materials Technology offers a wide range of strip steel in both stainless and carbon steel grades for the manufacture of coiled and formed springs. We specialize in the production of extremely thin...

Saw applications Wood bandsaws The bandsaw steel represents less than one percent of a sawmill’s costs, but impacts on the whole company’s profitability. Sawmill operators know that it pays to select bandsaws with minimum maintenance requirements and maximum run-times. Sandvik’s bandsaw steel has a higher tensile strength and is, therefore, able to tolerate higher blade strain, which gives a straighter cut and less waste. Together with high flatness, straightness, and surface finish, as well as a higher fatigue limit, we have reduced the risk of unplanned blade changes. Our bandsaw steels...

A hardening and tempering process gives the strip steel its required microstructure. This results in optimum mechanical properties and provides the necessary wear resistance. The strip also receives a high degree of flatness. An excellent surface finish is achieved by in-line polishing. Straightness accuracy is then obtained in the slitting line, and the edges are shaved to a very high standard of smoothness. Shaving further improves the straightness value. We aim to meet any straightness requirement specified by our customers. Processing blades Blades used in the printing and paper...

Surfaces Surface finish Sandvik strip steel can be delivered in several different surface finishes. To describe a surface appearance correctly, one has to indicate both its appearance and its roughness. Surface appearance In the table, surface appearance is defined in terms of brightness and color. Stainless steels are not usually color tempered and are, therefore, not delivered in codes 6 and 7. Surface roughness Surface roughness is measured with a special trailingstylus instrument. The relevant terminology and measuring methods can be found in EN ISO 4287 and EN ISO 4288. Surface...

Tolerance class To ensure the dimensional accuracy of products, our cold rolling mills are equipped with automatic gauge control and roll gap symmetry systems. Any deviations in shape characteristics are measured to guarantee the dimensions of the products delivered. The important characteristics for strip products are typically, thickness, flatness and straightness. Deviations from flatness could be in the form of waviness (like edge waves or internal buckles), coil set and cross bow. Standards for deviations in coil set and cross bow according to different tolerance classes are given in...
