The wear challenge
Impact hammers and crusher components in recycling lines face repeated high-energy strikes. Hardox grades with high toughness resist cracking while maintaining the hardness needed for fragmentation duty.
Hammer mills fragment waste and minerals under cyclic impact. SSAB cites Hardox 500, 550, and 600 for hammers, noting that high toughness provides resistance against cracking during operation.
Recommended Hardox grades
Grade selection depends on abrasive material, impact, and operating conditions. Claims below are from SSAB published material.
- Hardox 500
- Standard hammer mill hammers
- Hardox 550
- Higher abrasion hammer applications
- Hardox HiTuf
- Extreme impact hammer and crusher components
