HARDOX and wear-resistant steels are specialized steel types known for their exceptional durability and hardness. They are designed to withstand wear, impact, and other challenging conditions. Here’s an overview of these steels and their features:
HARDOX
HARDOX is renowned for producing high wear-resistant steel plates. These plates provide excellent hardness and toughness, ensuring long-term performance in harsh environments.
- HARDOX 450 Brinell: This wear-resistant steel has a hardness of 450 HBW. It offers outstanding impact resistance and machinability. Commonly used in truck bodies, blades, and conveyors.
- HARDOX 500 Brinell: With a hardness of 500 HBW, this steel is preferred for applications requiring higher hardness and wear resistance. It is used in mining equipment, crushers, and concrete mixers.
S690QL and S960QL
- S690QL: A low-alloy high-strength steel with a minimum yield strength of 690 MPa. It is typically used in the production of heavy-duty structures and equipment.
- S960QL: A low-alloy steel offering very high strength with a minimum yield strength of 960 MPa. Suitable for producing lightweight but highly durable structures.
ARMOX
ARMOX is a ballistic protection steel used in applications requiring ballistic resistance, such as armored vehicles, cash-in-transit vehicles, and security structures.
DOCOL
DOCOL provides high strength and formability, making it ideal for the automotive industry. It is used in the production of high-strength, lightweight automotive parts.
CORTEN
CORTEN, also known as weathering steel, is resistant to atmospheric conditions and is used in outdoor structural elements, sculptures, and bridges. It forms a protective layer during rusting, which helps prevent further corrosion.
