Among the Hardox grades , steel with the 450 mark is considered a metal with medium hardness according to the Brinell table. This indicates that the material is more wear-resistant, better withstands abrasive or impact effects. As a result, Hardox 450 steel is used in the manufacture of parts, units or other equipment for the corresponding operating conditions. First of all, Hardox 450 can be purchased for the needs of mechanical engineering, directing this raw material to the production of truck bodies.

Hardox steel with such marking also has visual differences from its analogues in its category. Compared to the 400 series, in this range you can buy sheets depending on the thickness , which determines the wear resistance of the metal. The thinnest sheet has a hardness of 425-475 units with a yield strength of 1100-1300 MPa. When the temperature drops to -40 degrees, the wear resistance (impact and viscosity ) becomes at the level of 50 J.

You can buy Hardox 450 steel with delivery from the manufacturer in our company. You can order Hardox 450 sheet steel by phone, email or through the order form on the website

Other sizes on request.

Advantages

• The high strength of Hardox steel will allow the production of metal structure elements that remain intact under extreme loads.
• Wear-resistant metal resists abrasive impacts well , for example, when in contact with solid bulk cargo. Its surface effectively resists abrasion for a long time.
• As with the entire Hardox series, Hardox 450 also has excellent weldability , with heat-treated areas being easy to machine.
• The price, taking into account the durability of the material, indicates reasonable costs. Convenient sheet form. Hardox metal sheet is used in bending, it is easy to cut blanks from it by any technological methods.
• The price of Hardox steel , taking into account its long service life, allows you to buy metal products with high performance qualities and reasonable cost , which will significantly increase the competitiveness of production.

Technical specifications

• The average Hardox hardness of 450 units allows for the production of durable metal products, and the frequency of repairs or maintenance is reduced many times over.
• Only when the temperature drops to extreme values ​​does Hardox steel begin to lose its initial viscosity. It can withstand design loads down to -40 degrees, including impact-mechanical loads (deformation, stretching, rupture).
• When using Hardox , the weight of the finished product can be reduced several times. For example, it is used to manufacture steel bodies for quarry equipment, which can be twice as thin with the same strength characteristics.
• During the manufacturing process, Hardox sheet undergoes the necessary heat treatment, including hardening and tempering. Due to this, no additional heat treatment is required after the manufacturing operations.

Design features

• The manufacturer of this grade of steel – SSAB – sets minimum tolerances for sheet dimensional parameters . The regulations for dimensions are determined by EN 10029 – 1991 (for sheet form) and EN 10051 (for sale of rolled products).
• Also, the exact values ​​of deviations in sheet thickness are determined . This coefficient for the Hardox 450 sheet is set at the control value of +/- 15 mm . Our price list presents certified products with confirmation of design properties , which can be purchased in stock or on order.

Manufacturing operations

Hardox sheets can be purchased for various processing methods. Metal marked 450 lends itself well to special tools made of hard alloy or high-speed steels. Bending procedures with a small radius, on cold rolling rollers and without unnecessary effort are allowed. It also interacts effectively with mechanical, gas, laser or plasma cutting machines.

A distinctive feature of this metal is its excellent weldability, which occurs even with medium-temperature heating. In addition, Hardox elements can be welded with components made of other metal grades, thereby reducing the cost of the resulting products.

Application

In a number of manufacturing industries, this metal with a hardness coefficient of 450 plays a key role:

— in drilling rigs, it is used to make cutting elements that interact with the soil, as well as a protective shell that can withstand increased wear and impact;

— for screens and crushers that crush even mountain rocks, “hardox” sieves, grates and other parts of machines that are subject to abrasive action are used;

— in cargo transportation, sheet products 450 are most often used in the assembly of body modules, as well as in the creation of containers or transport conveyors;

— protective components to prevent impact and other mechanical (vibration, corrosion) damage to important equipment components;

— warehousing and storage are also largely ensured by “hardox” strength, for example, for bunkers into which solid bulk materials are poured.
