Hardox® 500 Wear Plate

Hardox® 500 Plate is an abrasion-resistant steel plate with a hardness of 500 HBW. It’s also known for its high strength, excellent formability and weldability. It offers superior protection in harsh environments, making it ideal for applications such as dump bodies, excavators and crane buckets.

What is Hardox® 500 Steel Plate?

Hardox® 500 Plate is an abrasion-resistant steel plate with a hardness of 500 HBW. It’s also known for its high strength, excellent formability and weldability. It offers superior protection in harsh environments, making it ideal for applications such as dump bodies, excavators and crane buckets.

Hardox® 500 Tuf is an wear-resistant steel that offers both high performance durability and excellent formability. Hardox® 500 Tuf is the first 500 HBW wear plate with structural properties. It delivers extreme hardness and guaranteed toughness in a single wear plate. The material offers a 70–100% longer service life in comparison to conventional 400 HBW wear-resistant steel, and it includes improved dent protection. Hardox® 500 Tuf is available in thickness of 4 mm–25.4 mm and has a guaranteed impact strength of 27 J at -20°C in whole thickness range.

Applications of Hardox® 500 Plates

Hardox plates are designed for construction and mining equipments (excavators, dump trucks, bulldozers, hoppers, mixers, etc.).

  • as well as for machinery in very demand industries (recycling, agriculture, etc).
  • Screeners
  • Crushing and Pulverizing Equipment
  • Conveyors Belts
  • Grapples
  • Scrap Presses

1) Brinell hardness, HBW, according to EN ISO 6506-1, on a milled surface 0.019 – 0.118″ below surface. At least one test specimen per heat and 40 tonnes. The nominal thickness of supplied plates will not deviate more than +/- 0.590″ from the thickness of the test specimen used for hardness testing. For sheet the Brinell hardness test is according to EN ISO 6506-1 on each heat treatment individual/coil. Hardness is measured on a milled surface 0.012 – 0.079″ below surface.

2) Hardness test is not performed or guaranteed for Hardox® products with thicknesses < 0.098″. The tabulated hardness values for thickness < 0.098″ is a conversion from the tensile strength.
For more information please see the datasheet 2067- Hardness conversion of thin Hardox® wear sheet.

The nominal thickness of supplied plates will not deviate more than +/- 0.598″ from the thickness of the test specimen used for hardness testing.

Hardox® wear plate is through-hardened. Minimum core hardness is 90 % of the guaranteed minimum hardness.
