Description
What is Hardox steel?
Hardox® 500 Tuf has a guaranteed hardness interval of 475-505 HBW for high wear resistance in the most challenging abrasive applications. The toughness makes Hardox® 500 Tuf perform as a structural wear steel. It will keep your dump body in good shape, standing up to impact from large and heavy objects striking the plate. The high toughness with a guaranteed impact energy of 27 J at -20°C (20 ft-lb at -4°F), and a typical value of 45 J at -40°C (33 ft-lb at -40°F) gives you great performance in any climate – even better for equipment operating in freezing conditions.

Hardox 500 Heat Treatment and Fabrication
HARDOX 500 has obtained its mechanical properties by quenching and when necessary by means of subsequent tempering. The properties of the delivery conditon can not be retained after exposed to service or preheating temperatures above 480°F (250°C).HARDOX 500 is not intended for further heat treatment.
For information concerning welding and fabrication, see our brochures on www.hardox.com or consult our Technical Customer Service.
Appropriate health and saftey precautions must be taken when welding, cutting,grinding or otherwise working on the product. Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with high particle concentration.
