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 General

HARDOX is Built to Take a Beating

Rocks, sand, coal, minerals, scrap metal and any other hostile material have a hard time making a lasting impact on HARDOX wear plates.

HARDOX’s extreme resistance to wear is a strategic business factor. Extending the service life of your equipment by two, three, five, ten times or more is like money in the bank.

HARDOX wear plate meets strict demands on wear resistance. The unique combination of consistent and high hardness, high strength and excellent toughness makes the material well suited for a wide variety of applications.

Throughout the world, HARDOX is now synonymous with high quality, good flatness and good surface finish.

Although HARDOX plate is 3-4 times harder than ordinary high-strength structural plate, its excellent weldability, formability and machining properties make the material remarkably easy to work with.

Structural Properties

The most important difference between HARDOX and just ”some 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. Together with the high yield strength this opens up for lighter designs.

HARDOX is a Strong Material in Every Respect...

		Harder, more Wear Resistant Makes the wear life of the product many times longer.

		Extra-High Strength By using HARDOX, you can make your products simpler and lighter, and thus enable them to carry a higher payload.

		Excellent Toughness Tough even at very low temperatures.

		Easy on the Workshop Good weldability and machinability simplify production and maintenance.

		Stock Material Around the World HARDOX plate is available in more than 40 countries.

		Lower Costs - Better Overall Economy Higher payload, lower maintenance costs, good availability and a longer useful life combine to offer improved overall economy.
