Hardox® wear plate

Hardox^® wear plates are the world’s leading wear-resistant steel. The incomparable hardness and impact strength ensure high productivity, enhanced durability and an extended service life for your equipment. In addition, the wide range of grades and thicknesses allows Hardox^® wear plates to match your needs while also increasing your productivity. With its combination of superior hardness and toughness, Hardox^® wear plates are the wear-resistant steel of choice for extending the service life of any equipment, parts and structures in the most challenging environments.

For rocks, sand, coal, minerals, scrap metal and other damaging elements, Abraservice will find the best Hardox grade for you, ensuring that your equipment operates at peak efficiency.

Hardox^® wear plates are available in grades from 400 HBW to over 600 HBW (for extreme cases) and thicknesses from 0.7 mm to 160 mm. All Hardox^® grades has hardness guarantee across the thickness.

Top 5 reasons to choose Hardox^® wear plate

1. CONSISTENT PROPERTIES
   Every Hardox^® plate, every direction, every time. No other plate has the same consistent hardness, toughness, thickness, chemical properties and workshop friendliness.
2. CLEAN STEEL
   Hardox^® wear plate is entirely built up with a martensitic matrix. Perfect random orientation and small grain size, high purity and low amount of inclusions for guaranteed toughness, at low temperatures.
3. LASTING VALUE
   Hardox^® is the strongest product brand for wear-resistant steel in the world. More than 40 years as a global market and innovation leader has created a unique position. Equipment produced with Hardox^® wear plate has a higher value.
4. CRACK RESISTANCE
   The clean steel practice results in a very high crack resistance, resistance to impact, and exceptionally high-energy absorption.
5. GLOBAL AND VERSATILE
   Hardox^® is the true global wear plate. It is available in stock on all continents and in more than 50 countries. From 0.7 mm thin to 160 mm thick. From the super-tough Hardox^® HiTuf to Hardox^® Extreme, the hardest wear plate in the world.

This is the wear-resistant steel for high-temperature demands. Hardox^® HiTemp delivers extreme wear resistance at high temperatures ranging within 300°C–500°C range. While traditional quenched and tempered wear-resistant steels lose their hardness at temperatures over 200°C, Hardox^® HiTemp maintains its hardness even at temperatures reaching up to 500°C. Its properties are achieved by using high-quality raw materials combined with a carefully controlled manufacturing process. Hardox^® HiTemp has a hardness of 400 HBW at the time of delivery and is available between 5 mm–51 mm thick.

Choose Hardox^® 500 Tuf when formability and wear resistance are what you need. Hardox^® 500 Tuf is an wear-resistant steel that offers both high performance durability and excellent formability. Hardox^® 500 Tuf is the first 500 HBW wear plate with structural properties. It delivers extreme hardness and guaranteed toughness in a single wear plate. The material offers a 70–100% longer service life in comparison to conventional 400 HBW wear-resistant steel, and it includes improved dent protection. Hardox^® 500 Tuf is available in thickness of 4 mm–25.4 mm and has a guaranteed impact strength of 27 J at -20°C in whole thickness range.

Hardox^® Extreme is the world's hardest wear plate with a nominal hardness of 60 HRC and typical hardness of 650–700 HBW.

With a nominal hardness of 550 HBW & 600 HBW respectively, Hardox^® 550 & 600 are quenched and tempered materials that can drastically improve the service life of components in applications that demand a high/extreme resistance to wear. Products are available to suit a variety of specific applications or wear issues. Please get in touch to find out more.

This is a new steel that combines wear and corrosion resistance. Hardox^® HiAce has been developed to withstand wear in low pH acidic environments. Equipment can come under attack from a combination of acids, sulphates or salts containing chlorides. Insidious and aggressive acids oxidizes the steel’s surface decreasing service life, loss of productivity and the need for increased maintenance.

Hardox^® HiAce drastically slows the oxidation process whilst also performing to the same levels as a conventional 450 HBW wear resistant steel in regular environments. Guaranteed high toughness in low temperatures gives even more potential for most challenging applications. Available in a thickness range of 4 mm–25.4 mm, Hardox^® HiAce prevails in conditions with low pH levels, increasing the service life of equipment up to 3 times longer when compared to a conventional 400 HBW steel.
