The wear challenge
Shredder and shear knives need consistent hardness through the section to hold edge geometry under repeated cuts. Hardox wear plate delivers guaranteed core hardness for recycling knives that outlast mild steel.
Fragmentation of waste, electronics, wood, and cables demands hard steels that resist both wear and cracking. SSAB cites Hardox 600 and Hardox Extreme for fragmentation tooling where maximum hardness is required.
Recommended Hardox grades
Grade selection depends on abrasive material, impact, and operating conditions. Claims below are from SSAB published material.
- Hardox 600
- Shredder and shear knives
- Hardox Extreme
- Maximum hardness fragmentation tooling
- Hardox 500
- Moderate-duty knife rebuilds
