Vanard Ultra is the latest addition to the Vanard family of microalloyed steels manufactured by Tata Steel. Vanard Ultra is an optimised version of Vanard 1000 offering improved fracture splittability. The strength range of Vanard Ultra can be tailored to produce the desired properties in a range of connecting rod sizes with higher yield and tensile strengths offering greater design flexibility. The higher strength, relative to traditional steels, enable a connecting rod made from Vanard Ultra to withstand higher stresses in service so that higher power density is achievable without the need for an increase in size. Alternatively a higher strength steel can enable the component to be redesigned with a reduced weight. This has important implications for reducing overall engine mass.
