Summary |
The most
important difference between Hardox
and other ”hard steel” is the
toughness. That is what makes it
possible to use it as a structural
steel. It can be bent, formed and
welded without loosing its
properties.

HARDOX Product Facts
HARDOX 400, HARDOX 450 and HARDOX
500 have low carbon equivalent
values (CEV) in relation to their
high hardness and good toughness.
This results in good weldability.
Consistent quality, and excellent
flatness and surface finish are
other characteristics of plate in
the HARDOX family. All HARDOX plate
can be delivered blast cleaned and
anti-corrosion painted. The quality
system at SSAB Oxelösund is
certificated to ISO 9001.
For more detailed information on
sizes, quality system, certificates,
testing, marking, blast
cleaning/painting, etc., please

SSAB Oxelösund, which is a member of
the SSAB Swedish Steel Group,
develops, manufactures and markets
heavy plate.
Our specialties are HARDOX wear
plate and WELDOX extra high strength
structural plate. The whole of our
production takes place in an
integrated, process controlled
system. |

Out of
our total annual production of
around 500,000 tons, 80—90 percent
are exported.
Our HARDOX and WELDOX grades of
plate have become acknowledged
concepts on the world market. This
is due to a high and uniform
standard of quality and a balanced
combination of strength, flatness,
hardness, formability and excellent
machinability.
HARDOX owes its high hardness and
strength and its good toughness
properties to quenching with water
in our modern roller quenching
equipment. Due to this effective
process, the content of alloying
elements can be minimized, which is
beneficial both to the product and
to the environment. |
