Ovako invites Subcon attendees to try new online Steel Navigator

The digital platform allows customers to search and find the most suitable steel for their applications.

By visiting steelnavigator.ovako.com, users can search from a growing online database of more than 200 steels by standard, mechanical properties, weldability and hardenability, chemical composition and more.

Peter Hurtig, senior vice president sales & marketing, Ovako Hofors, said: “With Steel Navigator, now anyone can access better quality and comprehensive information to find the ideal engineering steel which matches their specific applications. Ovako is proud to be a leader of the new wave of digitisation that is transforming the steel industry.”

Steel Navigator not only lists Ovako grades, such as the attribute brands BQ-Steel, IQ-Steel, M-Steel, WR-Steel and SZ-Steel, but also steels supplied by other manufacturers.

Ovako will also give an exclusive seminar titled ‘Green clean steel’ (Session Code: M3) during day one of Subcon (6-8 June) at 11.30am.

Mr Hurtig, who will present, said: “We are aware the steel industry accounts for 7% of world CO₂ production. To help contribute towards positive change, Ovako’s green, clean engineering steel, provides customers with a radical reduction in CO₂ emissions compared with other steel manufacturers – while still producing steels with the highest performance.

“Ovako’s ambition is to use energy with low CO₂ emissions, working towards use of clean energy like water and wind power and recycling to bring environmental changes in steelmaking. With a Swedish electricity mix, our steel mills emit only 8% of the CO₂ per tonne of steel produced versus an average Chinese mill.”
