Hardox 450 is an abrasion resistant steel with a nominal hardness of 450 HBW. Typical applications are components and structures subject to wear. Hardox 450 and Hardox 450 Tuf are available in thicknesses of 3-130 mm. Both grades are available in widths up to 3350 mm and lengths up to 14630 mm. For widths ≤ 1600 mm and thicknesses between 3 and 6 mm, the preferred widths are 1500 or 1600 mm. For thickness over 80 mm the preferred width is 1650 mm.
Hardox 500 Tuf adds new levels of productivity and cost-efficiency in mining. Handling blasted rock and ore in a mining tray is not only highly abrasive, it also needs a steel that can take heavy impact. Hardox 500 Tuf has a typical hardness of 500 HBW for high wear resistance. What makes Hardox 500 Tuf special is it combines high hardness with high toughness, with guaranteed narrow Brinell hardness range of 475-505 HBW. The wear plate has a guaranteed impact energy of 27 J at -20°C (20 ft-lb at -4°F) and a typical value of 45 J at -40°C (33 ft-lb at -40°F), making it the optimal choice for mining in cold and freezing conditions.

Hardox 500 is a bendable and weldable abrasion-resistant steel, with a nominal hardness of 500 HBW. Suitable for applications that demand higher wear resistance. Hardox 500 increases payload and increases service life while maintaining good processability and toughness. Hardox 500 is available in thicknesses of 4.0 – 103 mm. Hardox 500 is available in widths up to 3350 mm and lengths up to 14630mm.
