Hardox Plates

Product Details:

We are the stockiest and supplier of Hardox Plates. Hardox is a very wear-resistant sheet steel. This steel wears slowly, even under large mechanical loads; Hardox is also called wear plate. This fact is especially interesting for companies that quarry gravel and sand as, for example, excavator buckets or dump truck bodies made from HARDOX last fast longer.

This material is characterized by its uniform evenness, high hardness and high strength. The weight of the constructions produced is reduced significantly. This is possible, because the material’s high strength enables thinner metal sheets to be used. HARDOX does not lose its impact resistance, even at low temperatures. As these sheets and plates have very good welding and machining properties, subsequent repairs of wearing parts is not a problem.

By choosing Wear plates with higher hardness levels it is possible to reduce the weight of a construction by up to 15 %. An increase by 50 Brinell extends the life of the work piece by 50 to 80 percent.

HARDOX is quenched and tempered steel. Hardening (quenching) and tempering sheets and plates produces the outstanding properties, which can be lost if worked incorrectly. Therefore precautions and protective measures must be taken when bending, welding, cutting and grinding.
