Hardox 500 vs Hardox 500 Tuf  

General Product Description

 

The bendable, weldable and highly abrasion-resistant steel. 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 service life while maintaining good processability
and toughness.

 
 
 

Introducing the new generation Hardox wear plate. Hardox 500 Tuf wear plate is the latest upgrade in the Hardox range. It delivers high strength, extreme hardness and guaranteed toughness in one and the
same wear plate. Hardox 500 Tuf combines the best properties from Hardox 450 and Hardox 500. The result is a wear plate with no real competition on
the market.

  Impact testing is performed on thicknesses ≥ 6 mm for plate and ≥ 3 mm for sheet. For thicknesses between 3 and 11.9 mm, sub-size Charpy V-specimens are used. The specified minimum value
is proportional to the cross-sectional area of the test specimen, compared to a full-size specimen (10 x 10 mm). Impact testing according to ISO EN 148 per heat and thickness group. Average of
three tests
