An extremely durable form of steel is known as a hardox steel. The Swedish steel manufacturer SSAB was the first to develop hardox steels, which are also resistant to wear. Hardox steel is frequently referred to as a wearing plate because it wears slowly under severe mechanical stress.
As a result, Hardox steels are particularly suitable for businesses that handle gravel and sand, such as tippers and the buckets of excavators where Hardox steel is utilized to extend lifetime.
400 Hardox
• Plate thickness: 3 to 130 millimeters
• 370–430 Brinell Hardness
Hexagon 450
• Plate thickness is 3 to 80 mm.
• 425 to 475 Brinell Hardness
These kinds of Hardox steels are employed when cold formed, extremely wear-resistant steels are required.
Some applications for these highly wear-resistant plate steels include dump trucks, chutes, recycling equipment, conveyor and dredge belts, and recycling systems. These have exceptional weldability, which defines them.
500 Hardox
• Plate thickness: 4-32 millimeters
• 470–530 Brinell Hardness
• Plate thickness: 32 to 80 millimeters
• 370–430 Brinell Hardness
Hexagon 550
• Plates are 10 to 50 millimeters thick.
• 525 to 575 Brinell Hardness
These kinds of Hardox steels are used to create products with high wear resistance requirements.
These kinds find extensive application in conveyor belts, breaker and knife teeth, and gears for grinding machinery. These materials start to lose their mechanical characteristics at temperatures above 250 °C.
600 Hardox
• Plate thickness: 8 to 50 millimeters
• 560-640 Brinell Hardness
When a high level of wear resistance is required, construction projects typically utilize this grade of Hardox steel. Hardox 600 Plate is utilized in goods like chutes, shredders, and demolition hammers, for instance.
Hardox Roofing
• Plate thickness 40-120 millimeters
• 310–370 Brinell Hardness
A variety of Hardox steel with high wear resistance and hardness is called Hardox HiTuf. Steels constructed of HiTuf Hardox can be used for demolition and cutting edges.
Hardox Ultra
• Plate thickness 10
700 Brinell Hardness
• Plate thickness is 25
• 650 Brinell Hardness
