HARDOX SSAB 400/450/500 Plates Features

• » The World's Leading Wear Brand: Hardox® is globally recognized for setting the highest standards in abrasion resistance, ensuring your equipment has the prestige and reliability of SSAB Swedish steel.
• » Hardness and Toughness Combined: Unlike standard AR plates, Hardox offers a unique metallurgical balance that allows it to withstand heavy impact shocks without cracking, even in freezing conditions.
• » Through-Hardened Performance: Every plate is quenched and tempered to ensure the hardness at the core is at least 90% of the minimum surface hardness, providing a consistent wear life throughout the plate's thickness.
• » Exceptional Structural Strength: Hardox can double as a structural steel, allowing you to design equipment where the wear plate also carries the mechanical load, leading to thinner and lighter designs.
• » Workshop Friendly Fabrication: Engineered for precision, these plates offer industry-leading consistency in thickness, flatness, and bending properties, making automated laser cutting and welding highly efficient.
• » Extended Service Life: Depending on the application, Hardox can last 3 to 5 times longer than standard S355 structural steel, dramatically reducing replacement costs and maintenance intervals.
• » Guaranteed Impact Toughness: Many Hardox grades come with guaranteed impact energy values (e.g., Hardox 450 at -20°C or -40°C), making it the safest choice for high-stress mining and recycling environments.
• » Superior Surface Finish: Delivered with a high-quality surface that is shot-blasted and primed, ensuring better material flow in hoppers and excellent paint adhesion for the finished product.
