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 challenging 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...

Medical applications Sandvik supplies advanced strip steel for medical applications. Our product offering includes a wide range of stainless steels to meet the tough requirements called for in the medical field. This is not our only strength. We also offer service benefits that give medical device manufacturers the competitive edge needed to satisfy their customers and build business. Other applications for thin precision strip Austenitic and duplex stainless steels The martensitic stainless chromium steel Sandvik Bioline 7C27Mo2 is a strip steel with very high corrosion resistance,...

Industrial blade applications Sandvik’s leading metallurgy enables us to produce strip steel with optimum and consistent properties. The materials, which we produce for blades in the printing and food processing industries, have been tailored to achieve the highest precision and best possible performance. Cold rolling provides the basis Our modern cold rolling mills produce strip steel with close thickness tolerances and excellent straightness. A perfect shape is produced in the strip in order to achieve the desired straightness. The hardening process is the key In the hardening and...

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 trailing-stylus instrument. The relevant terminology and measuring methods can be found in EN ISO 4287 and EN ISO 4288. Surface...

Shape 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 the tables....
