Valve Spring Wire with Extra Low Oxygen and with Shaved Surface – A Real Need

$15.00

The constant evolution of engine engineering in the automobile industry aiming better performance has challenged material suppliers in the improvement of their processes.ACOS Ipanema-Villares, with integrated operations from ingot to valve oil tempering wire, has concentrated its efforts on two strategic points: steel cleaning and wire quality surface. The ‘VRSO process (vacuum: Reduction of sulfur and oxygen),’ developed in the melting shop, has guaranteed contents below 9PPM oxygen, reflecting in levels of non-metalic inclusions.
