Hardox® wear plate is the leading abrasion-resistant (AR) steel. Hard through and through, from the surface deep down to its core. Delivering extended service life and high productivity, it exceeds expectations in the most challenging, extreme wear environments. Hardox^® is a type of steel that is known for its hardness, toughness, strength, and abrasion resistance. It is exceptionally wear-resistant, making it suitable for the most demanding applications in industries such as mining, construction, and recycling.

Hardox^® 450 has a solid reputation as a highly versatile, abrasion-resistant steel that also has structural properties. With an extra 50 HBW hardness over AR 400 grades, it provides additional wear resistance for an extended service life. The hardness also increases the steel’s strength, with better dent resistance as a result. The high toughness also in cold conditions ensures that equipment can take impact forces without compromising its structural integrity.

Hardox^® 500 Tuf is the world’s hardest wear plate with structural properties. It delivers high strength, high hardness and guaranteed toughness in a single wear plate – a truly outstanding material for the most demanding applications. It has proved itself worldwide in truck and tipper bodies, containers, mining dumpers, buckets and other attachments, agricultural equipment, liners and wear parts. Thanks to its toughness, it can perform as a structural material in recycling containers, dump bodies, buckets and other heavy-duty products, even in freezing conditions. Combining the best properties from Hardox^® 450 and Hardox^® 500, it’s your go-to wear plate with no real competition on the market.
