You cannot compromise on reliability or durability

Within the motorsport arena, racing and rallying, only top performance matters – nothing else. Extending the limits of engineering and advanced technology is a daily practice.

High-alloy steel from Uddeholm, combining high strength, toughness and wear resistance, together with the right heat treatment is the key for achieving this. Uddeholm High Performance Steel offers top performance through lower weight, greater precision, lower maintenance costs and longer life time.

Examples of product made utilising Uddeholm High Performance Steel for the Racing Industry are drive shafts, crank shafts, wrist pins, cam followers, valve seats and fastening devices.

Uddeholm High Performance Steel is a concept whereby the superior properties of tool steel are harnessed and used in contexts other than pure tool applications. Thanks to improved strength and durability, the steels have a longer life span.
