The hardness of Hardox 500 steel according to the Brinell table is 470-540 units, which classifies this metal as a high-strength material. As a result, its purchase is rational for assembling structures for extreme operating conditions . In comparison with other analogues in this mode, Hardox 500 shows increased durability, reduced wear (by 2-3 times). As well as deformation strength, tensile strength (up to 1.550 N/mm2) and high impact toughness, including at high negative temperatures.

You can buy Hardox 500 steel with delivery from the manufacturer in our company. You can order Hardox 500 sheet steel by phone, email or through the order form on the website.

Design and technical characteristics

• Hard steel of this grade , in addition to wear-resistant properties , is distinguished by improved parameters for processing operations. First of all, Hardox 500 is well welded (MAG, MMA, TIG) with other steel alloys without excessive heating or the use of special additives, flux.
• The nominal hardness on the scale of 500 HBW is noted over the entire area of ​​the sheet due to the uniformity and homogeneity of the structure . At the same time, the yield strength is 1300 MPa, which indicates an increased service life of the metal .
• In addition to weldability, Hardox sheet can be purchased for other metalworking operations due to its optimal characteristics . When cutting, the steel becomes susceptible to the impact of cutting attachments made of hard alloys or containing high -speed additives. The material is cut no less effectively on mechanical, gas, laser or plasma cutting machines. Hardox sheet blanks can be subjected to cold bending, stamping, rolling, drawing, drilling, countersinking and other processes.

Manufacturing

During the manufacturing process, Hardox 500 undergoes all the necessary stages of controlled hardening and tempering. After melting, the resulting mixture is subjected to uniform cooling, due to which it becomes uniform in grain size (fine-grained) and technical properties. The smaller the grain size, the higher the strength of the martensitic structure, the impact toughness and hardness of the material are improved. The proportional introduction of alloying additives is also controlled, through which a level of 500 or more hardness units is achieved in the finished product range.

This not only makes it easier to work with the material, but also eliminates additional heat treatment after production operations. As a result, the price of production costs is significantly reduced, which increases the profitability of working with Hardox .

Advantages of Hardox 500 steel

• The Hardox sheet contains a large amount of carbon (equivalent to 0.62 per 20 mm). This indicates impressive wear resistance of finished products, good resistance to mechanical loads (including vibration) or abrasive effects.
• Hardox 500 will allow to reduce the price of manufactured products several times . While maintaining the parameters of strength, hardness, viscosity and other characteristics, this steel  sheet can have half the thickness . As a result, due to this, it is permissible to reduce the estimated weight of the product.
• The use of Hardox 500 significantly reduces operating costs, since equipment, units or mechanisms made of this steel require less frequent repairs or maintenance. Moreover, maintenance can be limited to cleaning the surface of the unit, having performed proper lubrication, which preserves the characteristics inherent in Hardox for a long time .

Application  

In the price list of the company “StalSnabKomplekt” you can buy sheet metal with a thickness range of 4-200 mm , in the overall design of 2000×6000 mm.

Hardox wear-resistant sheets with a hardness coefficient of 500 units and taking into account other characteristics are an ideal raw material for use in all industrial sectors where metal structures must withstand heavy loads. With the right selection of metal, it is possible to achieve:

— improving the technical performance of products, increasing their durability by protecting them from friction and other types of wear;

— reducing adverse effects when in contact with other materials, especially solid bulk materials such as rocks, concrete, gravel, cement, asphalt, etc.;

— improving the quality of manufactured products in mechanical engineering or machine tool building.

Due to these features, Hardox 500 sheets are most often used in such industries as:

• Mining industries, especially in drilling rigs, for the manufacture of cutting or protective components .
• Construction, in particular special equipment, for the manufacture of many units of which Hardox should also be used , including for bulldozer buckets, blades, crushers, screens, grates, sieves.
• Large-scale logistics using heavy-duty or quarry equipment. For such trucks, it is also more rational to buy and use a steel grade that significantly increases the durability of components. Including for transport containers, conveyor structures.
• Lining is a special task for thermal or corrosion protection of sensitive equipment components, which is also solved much easier if you buy sheet metal of category 500 HBW. Protective coating is in demand for storage bunkers, chemical processing reactors and other tanks.
