Precision steel tubes - Propeller shaft

Precision steel tubes for propeller shafts offer outstanding surface and geometrical properties. The steel material solutions of the well-established KSG series feature a finely graded

microstructure and consequently excellent static as well as fatigue strength properties.

 

Customer expectations:

 

  • Weldability
  • Excellent dynamic response
  • Excellent strength properties (static strength and fatigue strength) within narrow scatter bands

Tube requirements:

 

  • Geometrical characteristics within narrow scatter bands (wall thickness, diameter, eccentricity, etc.)
  • Well-defined, homogeneous microstructure
  • Narrow scatter band of strength properties
