The wear challenge
Excavator buckets working rock, overburden, and demolition need hardness and toughness in the same body. Hardox 500 Tuf lets BSF build lighter buckets with higher load capacity and longer field life.
Buckets face sliding abrasion and repeated impact at the lip, corners, and sidewalls. SSAB shows that manufacturing the entire bucket body in Hardox 500 Tuf reduces separate liner packages, cuts weight, and can extend wear life up to 50% compared with Hardox 450.
Recommended Hardox grades
Grade selection depends on abrasive material, impact, and operating conditions. Claims below are from SSAB published material.
- Hardox 500 Tuf
- Bucket bodies, shells, and structural wear zones
- Hardox 500
- Cheek plates and high-abrasion panels
- Hardox HiTuf
- Cutting edges and extreme impact zones
