the equivalent material of HARDO X400
Hardox X400 is a high-strength wear-resistant steel designed for use in demanding applications. This steel grade is designed for maximum abrasion resistance and impact resistance due to its hardness and wear-resistant properties. Developed at SSAB's research center, Hardox X400 was created to solve different wear problems in mining, heavy industrial and earthmoving applications.
Hardox X400 steel is a unique combination of strong and durable steel grades with improved formability, weldability and machinability. This facilitates the use of Hardox X400 in the manufacture of equipment used in demanding applications where heavy loads need to be supported for long-term durability.
Hardox X400 contains several alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, manganese and vanadium, giving it optimal wear resistance. The steel is heat-treated to produce a microstructure that is extremely even and uniform, giving the steel its superior mechanical and wear properties. This heat-treating process creates interlinking carbide network structures that make Hardox X400 ultra-hard, durable and tough. The steel is capable of withstanding up to four times its own weight, making it ideal for arduous applications with harsh working conditions.
Among its additional benefits are its good formability, excellent weldability, good impact toughness and high hardness, making it suitable for many applications. It has a higher stiffness than mild steel and is resistant to deformation. It also comes with SSAB’s unique aftercare support and a range of services such as laser and waterjet cutting, rolling, bending and welding.
Hardox X400 is commonly used in applications such as crushers and demolition hammers, digger buckets, crusher schutes, loader bucket edges and gatric blades. In addition, it is suitable for a wide range of general wear parts in the mining, agricultural and construction industries.
Thanks to its combination of strength and wear resistance, Hardox X400 is an ideal material for applications that require superior quality and long-term durability. This makes it an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications such as cutting, crushing and scraping.
