Hardox is wear-resistant steel plate manufactured

by SSAB Oxelösund AB of Sweden.

【Characteristics】

Hardox is available in five types with differing characteristics.

Characterized by high hardness and high tensile strength (see below).

【Types 】

*1 Brinell hardness

*2 Rockwell hardness

*3 Guideline for toughness. The higher the value, the greater the toughness.

【Characteristics】

◆Cutting◆

High precision steel plate with low impurities and a balanced chemical composition ensure superior cutting characteristics.

◆Bending◆

Quality and surface properties of the plate allow tight bends on thin plate. Stable characteristics ensure high precision in plate thickness tolerances, allowing for high precision in bending

◆Welding◆

Hardox wear-resistant steel plate has a low carbon content ensuring low thermal inertia. Its high flatness value and strict tolerances permit automatic welding, reducing preparation time for tack welding etc. High ductility and low impurities ensure excellent HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) characteristics.

◆Machining◆

Hardox wear-resistant steel plate is easily machined. Stability and uniformity in characteristics between plates ensures the desired finish in machining. The company has accumulated data on cutting and machining of HDX400 – 600.

=> Hardox 500 machining examples (all machining operations trialed on single plates)
