Alleima has revealed its latest compressor valve steel Freeflex® Versa - a successor of the Freeflex® Core.
It is pioneering compressor valve steel with exceptional fatigue resistance, residual stresses, and wear resistance.
Over the past decades, Alleima, a global manufacturer of high value-added products in advanced stainless steels and special alloys, has pioneered advancements in compressor valve steels to meet the latest energy efficiency standards in HVACR (Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration) applications.
Freeflex® Versa represents substantial progress in compressor valve steel technology.
Building upon the success of its predecessor Hiflex™ and Freeflex® Core this martensitic stainless steel is engineered, with a focus on catering to the unique requirements of reciprocating and linear technologies.
Notable features of Freeflex® Versa include exceptional fatigue resistance, outstanding wear resistance, and the ability to contribute to noise reduction and downsizing.
"Even a small piece of steel can have a great impact. Our premium compressor valve steel provides increased design freedom, leading to more energy efficient appliances and sustainable products," said Anders Hoel, senior research engineer, at Alleima.
