General Engineering and Structural Steel

GENERAL ENGINEERING AND STRUCTURAL STEEL

General engineering and structural steel 1s used for producing various construction or machine elements, alloyed often only with carbon and manganese, but also micro alloying is added. It is the base for our hardchrome plated products. as well as the standard hollow bar program in Ovako 280.
