HARDO X450 abrasion resistant steel plate equivalent
Hardox 450 is a highly wear-resistant abrasion resistant steel plate. It employs a unique combination of amazing hardness and strength properties that are designed and developed to last in a variety of harsher conditions. To ensure this, this type of steel is weldable and boasts a combination of good bendability and excellent weldability.
The name Hardox 450 originates from the brand “Hardox”, which is derived from the word “hardness”. This steel plate is used in various industries such as mining, cement manufacturing, and construction for wear parts. It was developed for heavy-duty use in harsh wear conditions and is often found in uses such as chutes, wear liners, wear-resistant blades, and guide rails.
Compared to other abrasion resistant steel plates, Hardox 450 offers superior abrasion resistance and hot-hardness properties. It has a unique combination of hardness and strength, which makes it suitable for heavy-duty heavy applications and for wear parts in extreme wear conditions.
Hardox 450 is a quenched and tempered (Q&T) grade able to be formed and welded using common methods. It also offers exceptionally good cold bending properties and can be cold worked up to 3.5 mm thickness. The steel is readily weldable and can be done with standard equipment and without the need to pre-heat the steel.
It has a nominal yield strength of 450 MPa and excellent mechanical properties, coupled with good formability and low-temperature toughness. HARDOX also offers excellent cold-forming properties when up to 3.5 mm thicknesses are employed. It is also known for its superior notch toughness.
The exceptional properties of Hardox 450 are due to its unique combination of mechanical properties and its combination of challenging properties. Hardox 450 boasts high wear resistance, excellent impact toughness, and its ability to be machined and welded without pre-heating.
In comparison to another abrasion resistant steel such as AR 500, Hardox 450 offers superior resistance to abrasive wear and higher hot strength. This makes it a great choice for applications that are exposed to abrasive wear in an environment where they experience a high amount of thermal cycling. It is well-suited for many demanding applications and is often seen being used in parts like wear liners, crusher parts, shell liners, and wear-resistant blades.
In short, Hardox 450 is an ideal choice for those looking for a highly wear-resistant abrasion steel plate that provides superior abrasion resistance, good formability, and superior weldability when compared to other abrasion steel plates. It is an optimal choice for applications that experience high levels of abrasive wear and thermal cycling. The unique combination of strength and toughness ensures that this steel plate is well-suited for withstanding tough wear conditions.
