What are Hardox 400 Plates?
A plate called Hardox 400, which has a hardness of 400 HBW and is abrasion resistant, is designed for applications where high cold bending qualities are required in addition to abrasion resistance. Weldability is outstanding with Hardox 400 plates.
Hardox is a material that can withstand the most punishing conditions, such as those seen in mining and industrial settings, for years on end. It may be used to create high-quality equipment, extending its useful life and reducing the likelihood of component failure when replacing worn-out pieces increasing the capability for production.
This standard’s steel Hardox 400 Plates has a property of low carbon content, which enhances flexibility and impact resistance; alloy content particularly that of chromium and nickel improves steel condition for improved wear resistance. Hardness, toughness, lower weight, superior wear resistance, and long service life are all components of the design of Hardox steel. The hardest steel grade is Hardox 400, and as the steel grade grows, hardness also rises.
Applications of Hardox 400 Plates
Abrasion Resistant Steel Plates is a brand of wear-resistant steel plates that can be used to create buckets, loaders, dump trucks, crushers, classifiers, chutes, and other wear-resistant liners. It is resistant to all types of abrasion from gravel, sand, and rocks. It also has great processability, enabling you to quickly create or modify replacement parts.
Steel plates that have been hardened offer enhanced service life, durability, and freight capacity. With the benefit of being both robust and hard for plates 400 to 450, Hardox is a fantastic option for walls and floors.
Hardox Plates offer improved impact and dent resistance in addition to greater wear resistance. A sturdy plate can flex and take hits while maintaining its strength because of its smooth sides.
Heat Treatment and Construction
By quenching and, if necessary, subsequent tempering, Hardox 400 has acquired its mechanical characteristics. Temperatures exceeding 250oC during service or preheating will result in the inability to maintain the delivery conditions (480oF).
Regardless of whether the product is being welded, cut, ground, or modified in any other way, safety procedures must be followed at all times. In some instances, grinding can result in high particle concentrations of dust, especially when the surface has primer coatings.
