Data sheet HARDOX:
HARDOX 400 is the most popular of the HARDOX abrasion-resistant steel products. Thanks to its high toughness and problem-free weldability, it is often used as abrasion-resistant and structural steel at the same time.
HARDOX 450 was originally developed for truck beds. It offer greater hardness (and hence abrasion resistance) while maintaining high impact strength and very good weldability. It is increasingly used also in other applications, in which previously used was the HARDOX 400 material.
HARDOX 500 is used mainly in applications requiring very long life in abrasion-resistant conditions, or in applications in very hard rocks or minerals.
HARDOX 600 offers extreme hardness with high impact strength, and competes with such materials as cast steel, cast manganese steel and ceramics, offering better availability and machinability as these materials.

For HARDOX 600 steels, the final values of mechanical properties and the available thickness range will be defined gradually
HARDOX steels have mill certificates guaranteeing ranges of hardness and chemical composition. The values of impact strength KV and carbon equivalent Ce shown above are typical values.
