What is Hardox 500 abrasion resistant steel?
Hardox 500 is a bendable wear resistant grade. Hardox 500 plates are engineered with premium chemical ingredients such as Carbon, Silicon, Nickel Molybdenum, Chromium, Boron, Sulphur, Manganese and Phosphorus. The premium ingredients embedded in Hardox® 500 wear plates give these modules enhanced corrosion resistance and tolerance. With a nominal hardness of 500 Brinell, these plates resist wear from stress-inducing systems. Hardox® 500 wear resistant plates offer good impact resistance and are not prone to sliding.
These robust plates are very effective in environments subject to abrasive media. Plates of this grade are typically designed with thicknesses starting at 6mm and can extend to 100mm or more as required. 500 HBW plates have a design density of 8 kg/m3, a typical yield strength of 1400mpa and an impact energy of 37 J at -40 degrees Celsius.
