Freeflex Versa (photo) compressor-valve steel is a new material that contributes to designing smaller, more sustainable and more energy-efficient compressors for refrigerators and freezers. Building upon the success of its predecessors 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, the company says. The compressor-valve steel is suitable for a variety of applications, including air-conditioning equipment, heat pumps, refrigerators, freezers and clothes dryers. — Alleima AB, Sandviken, Sweden
