What is Hardox 500 equivalent grade in India

    
    The term HARDOX 500 is used to describe a brand of wear plate that is manufactured by the Swedish company SSAB. HARDOX 500 is a steel plate with increased hardness and a greater resistance to wear. It provides excellent levels of abrasion and impact resistance, making it a particularly useful steel plate in a variety of industrial applications.
    
    In India, HARDOX 500 can be easily replaced with the equivalent grade Abrex 500. Abrex 500 is also manufactured by SSAB and is of the same quality and standard as HARDOX 500. Abrex 500 is known for its excellent wear and impact resistance, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of applications. As is the case with HARDOX 500, Abrex 500 is extremely tough, wear-resistant and lightweight, and is therefore often used in items such as wear plates, excavator buckets, dump bodies and augers, as well as for wall cladding and liners.
    
    Abrex 500 has an approximate Brinell hardness of 500 HBW, which is slightly lower than that of HARDOX 500. The material also offers excellent levels of resistance to notches and wear, as well as to abrasion, erosion and impact. Abrex 500 contains a fine-grained microstructure which provides enhanced toughness and weldability, making it a great choice for tougher applications that require additional toughness. Abrex 500 has a very good bending performance and can be formed into complex shapes with excellent surface quality.
    
    Abrex 500 is available in plate sizes ranging from 8 to 100 millimetres thick, and its thickness can be varied in order to meet the specific requirements for any application. It is also available in standard sheets, in sizes which range from 0.5 to 8 millimetres, and can be rolled into cylinders, cones, spiral and U-bend shapes. The material is also available in a variety of thicknesses, lengths and widths.
    
    Overall, Abrex 500 is an excellent replacement for HARDOX 500 in India, offering the same level of excellent wear and impact resistance at a slightly lower price. It also offers superior toughness and weldability compared to HARDOX 500, as well as an array of other excellent features, making it ideal for applications that require tough, wear-resistant and lightweight steel plates.
