The product range covers all grades that Ovako produces, in sizes of outer diameter 25-250mm and a wide range of wall thicknesses, from hot rolling or further processing, to ensure even tighter tolerances and smoother surface finish, by cold drawing/cold rolling.

Rolled and Forged Rings

As a stockholder of rolled and forged rings Midland Special Steels has a proven track record in this product niche. We strictly control the whole product on chain, from melt to rolling of the seamless rings. For example. to ensure the superior quality of our rings, we carefully
manage the levels of oxygen content in the steel to ensure the production of a cleaner steel.

Hard Chrome Plated Bar and Tube

Chrome-plated bars and tubes are primarily used as piston rods. a critical component in hydraulic cylinders. They have the basic function of transforming hydraulic power into linear motion whilst preventing ingress of abrasive media into the hydraulic system

SZ-STEEL

The 'SZ' stands for both Sub-Zero, and also for 'Safety' at temperatures far below 'Zero' degrees Celcius (°C). 'Safety' in this context is provided by good impact toughness so that the mechanical strength of the steel is not affected by low temperatures.

Cromax

The steels used by Cromax have been developed specifically with the design and manufacturing of piston rods in mind - they can be thought of as 'piston-rod steels' in the same way that steels developed specifically for ball and roller bearing applications are called bearing steels and steels developed for springs are called spring steels.
