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 refer to our general product information 'HARDOX & WELDOX’ brochure (USA-S).

Materials expertise and knowledge of the best way of using plate are important to improved economy.

Our Applications Engineers have accumulated wide experience of HARDOX in design and production, and will be pleased to offer technical advice free of charge in your plant.

This consultancy service is available for the entire chain from selection of materials, machining and welding, right up to surface treatment.

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.

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.
