Grades and application of Hardox wear-resistant steel plate

According to the hardness grade, Hardox wear-resistant steel plates are divided into: Hardox 400, Hardox 450, Hardox 500, Hardox 550, Hardox 600 and Hardox HiTuf. This means that you can always find a kind of Hardox steel plate that meets your specific needs.

The Hardox 400 and the Hardox 450 are multipurpose wear plates. Because of its high toughness, good bending and welding properties, it can also be used for bearing in some applications.

Hardox 500 is a kind of wear plate that can be bent and welded, and can be used in fields that require higher wear resistance.

Hardox 550 is a wear-resistant steel plate with an average hardness of 550HBW. Its toughness is the same as that of Hardox 500. It is used in high wear occasions. It is mainly aimed at users and manufacturers who use high manganese steel castings or wear-resistant steel plates with Brinell hardness of 500. When upgrading from Hardox 500 steel plate to this product, the Brinell hardness is increased by 50 units, and the wear resistance life is extended without loss of steel plate toughness.

Hardox 600 is the hardest wear-resistant steel plate in the world, with a hardness value of 600HBW. It is generally used in situations where wear is extremely serious, and is mainly used to replace cast steel, chromium alloy cast iron and surface hardened metal. Despite its high hardness, we can machine, weld and cut it. Although the hardness of Hardox 600 is very high, it still has quite high impact toughness.
