What is Hardox
Hardox is a brand of abrasion-resistant steel known for its high strength and toughness, making it ideal for use in applications where wear and tear is common. This steel has been tested against some of the harshest conditions, including being struck by 500 kg (1,100 lb) of iron ore per square centimeter! Hardox steel is made using a process called quenching and tempering. In this process, the steel is first heated to a high temperature and then cooled rapidly. This process hardens the steel, making it more resistant to wear and tear. However, the quenching and tempering process also makes the steel more brittle, so choosing the right grade of Hardox for your application is important.
Hardox Wear Resistant Steel Types
| Hardox 400 |
| Thickness of plate 3-130 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 370-430 |
| Hardox 450 |
| Thickness of plate 3-80 mm |
| Brinell Hardness: 425-475 |
| When cold formed highly wear-resistant steels are needed, these types of Hardox steels are used. |
| Conveyor and dredging belts, recycling installations, chutes, and dump trucks are some of the usage areas of these high wear-resistant plate steels. These are characterized by excellent weldability. |
| Hardox 500 |
| Thickness of plate 4-32 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 470-530 |
| Thickness of plate 32-80 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 370-430 |
| Hardox 550 |
| Thickness of plate 10-50 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 525-575 |
| These types of Hardox steels are utilized in the fabrication of parts where high resistance to wear is required. |
| These types are intensively used in gears of grinding equipment, breaker and knife teeth, and conveyor belts. If the temperature of these materials exceeds 250 °C, they will begin to lose their mechanical properties. |
| Hardox 600 |
| Thickness of plate 8-50 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 560-640 |
| This type of Hardox steel is mainly used in construction projects where high wear resistance is needed. For example, chutes, shredders, and demolition hammers are products in which Hardox 600 is used. |
| Hardox HiTuf |
| Thickness of plate 40-120 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 310 – 370 |
| Hardox HiTuf is a type of Hardox steel having high wear resistance and toughness. Cutting edges and demolition can be made out of HiTuf Hardox steels. |
| Hardox Extreme |
| Thickness of plate 10 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 700 |
| Thickness of plate 25 MM |
| Brinell Hardness: 650 |
Property of Handox Plates
1-Surface of the Handox Plate
If the plate is damaged or rusted, flexibility significantly decreases. These defects must be corrected before bending operation. Operators of the bending machine must perform bending at intervals to prevent the occurrence of cracking in steel. Work piece breaks in bending direction if existing cracks continue to grow.
2-Radius of Stamp
Stamp radius of Hardox 450/500 sheets of steel must be 4 times of plate thickness. In order to prevent damaging the punch, tools used for bending must be in the same hardness values or higher.
3-Spring Back
Hardox 500 plates of steel which are relatively harder have a spring back ratio between 12-20% while this number for Hardox 450 which is softer in comparison with Hardox 500/600 is between 11-18%. In the guidance of these data, the material has to be bent more than the desired radius by considering the spring-back effect. Simulation of the edge of the metal plate is possible with Tosec. By using it, the optimum depth of bending in the stamp is achieved with convenience.
