Equal bar diameters do not establish material interchangeability. Shaft and machine-part stock should follow the application, approved drawing and next manufacturing steps. Describe the critical fits, surfaces and delivery scope.
Buy stock for the actual process
Ovako distinguishes the needs of complex machined hydraulic parts, loaded rotating components and parts requiring specific surface performance. Identify the component before discussing material options. Supply the approved grade and standard, blank dimensions, cut length, quantity, machining allowance, delivery condition and surface requirements.
Keep acceptance traceable
State agreed dimensional and straightness tolerances rather than relying only on nominal diameter. Define which party performs heat treatment and finishing. At receipt, match grade, heat identification, condition and dimensions to the order; preserve identification after cutting. Specify any extra test method and acceptance criterion in advance. Stock hardness alone does not establish component life.
