Thicker
and Thinner than Ever
Now, we offer wear
plates from 0.7 mm to 160 mm. The new dimensions
increase the creative area and open up for
new possibilities where the thickness used
to be a limitation.
HARDOX wear
plate is available in several hardness levels:
HARDOX 400, HARDOX 450, HARDOX 500, HARDOX
550, HARDOX 600, HARDOX Extreme and HARDOX
HiTuf. It means that you can always specify
a HARDOX steel grade to meet your specific
needs.
HARDOX 400 and HARDOX 450 are all-round
wear resistant plates. Due to its high toughness,
good bendability and weldability, the plates
can also be used for load bearing duties
in certain applications.
HARDOX 500 is a bendable and weldable abrasion
resistant plate which is used in applications
that demand higher wear resistance.
HARDOX 550 is a wear plate with a hardness
of 550 Brinell and toughness equal to HARDOX
500. It is intended specially for heavy
wear applications and targeted toward users
and producers of wear parts using 12% manganese
steel castings or 500 Brinell wear plates.
The additional 50 Brinell you gain in hardness,
when upgrading from 500 HBW steels, will
increase wear life but not at the expense
of crack integrity.
HARDOX 600
is wear plate with a hardness of 600 Brinell.
It is indented specially for extreme wear
conditions and competes with wear materials
like high chromium white alloy castings,
Ni-hards and hardfacing. In spite of its
extremely high hardness the steel is weldable
and can be machined as well as thermally
cut. For its hardness, the steel also has
uniquely high impact strength.
HARDOX Extreme is an abrasion resistant
plate with a typical hardness of 650-700
HBW, intended for applications requiring
an extremely high abrasion resistance.
HARDOX HiTuf is a wear resistance plate
with extremely high toughness to provide
an excellent crack tolerance. HARDOX HiTuf
has a hardness of 350 Brinell and is intended
for heavy section structural wear parts
where extra high demands are applied on
the combination of wear and crack resistance.
