What is en Hardox 500 equivalent astm material

    
    HARDOX 500 is a high strength abrasion resistant steel produced by Swedish company SSAB. It is available as plates, sheets, and strips that can be used in a variety of applications such as truck beds, mill liners, chutes, dump bodies, conveyors, and more.
    
    The equivalent ASTM material for HARDOX 500 is Abrasion-Resistant (AR) steel plate. AR steel plate is a high-carbon alloy steel designed specifically to have greater hardness properties than low-carbon steel. AR steel plate is typically made to the ASTM specification A514 or A517. A514 is mainly used as a structural steel and is composed of different components such as manganese, silicon, nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. A517 also comes in several different grades ranging from Grade A to Grade F and is greater in strength than A514.
    
    Because of the improved hardness properties of AR steel, it is ideal for a variety of applications that require abrasion or wear resistant steel. AR steel plate is used to make wear-resistant parts, such as bulldozers, conveyors, hoppers, truck beds, and other equipment used for mining, quarries, and construction. It is also used for key components in agricultural, industrial and construction equipment like tractors, loaders, cranes and elevators.
    
    In addition to its superior resistance to wear and abrasion, AR steel also provides good formability, weldability, and toughness. It can also be used as a structural material in some cases and can be easily machined.
    
    Overall, AR steel plate is an ideal steel product to use in place of HARDOX 500. It provides superior abrasion-resistance and can be used in a variety of applications. AR steel is strong, durable, and versatile and can be tailored to a customer's specific needs.
