nm 400 vs hardox 400

related to HARDOX 400 and HARDOX 400 NM:
    
    HARDOX 400 and HARDOX 400 NM are high-strength and wear-resistant steel grades that offer superior performance in extreme conditions and environments. Both HARDOX 400 and HARDOX 400 NM are produced by SSAB, a Swedish manufacturer that is known for its high-quality steel grades.
    
    HARDOX 400 is a three-quarter hard steel grade that is used in applications where abrasive wear resistance and ballistic protection are needed. It is characterized by a low carbon content and a high minimum yield strength of 400 MPa, as well as its excellent forming, cutting and welding properties. The steel is made using SSAB’s special hot-rolling process that enables excellent forms, high strength and uniformity.
    
    HARDOX 400 NM is a completely quenched and tempered version of HARDOX 400. It has higher strength and toughness than the standard grade and is particularly suited for applications in harsh environments. Despite the improved properties, HARDOX 400 NM stays ductile and formable during production and processing.
    
    HARDOX 400 and HARDOX 400 NM are versatile high-strength steel grades that can be used in a number of applications. The steels have excellent hot formability and welding properties, making them suitable for a variety of construction, engineering and industrial applications. Both grades are highly wear-resistant and suitable for high impact applications, providing superior performance in extreme wear applications.
