Hardox wear plate grades
Hardox steel grades
The full Hardox wear plate program, one page per grade: what each grade is for, its properties, and the official SSAB datasheet. BSF supplies and fabricates all of them.
Ten grades, one decision
Grade choice follows the wear mechanism: hardness for abrasion, toughness for impact, and special grades for corrosion or heat.
Hardox 400
400 HBW nominal
The general-purpose wear plate for moderate abrasion.
Grade pageHardox 450
450 HBW nominal
The world's most used wear plate grade.
Grade pageHardox 500
500 HBW nominal
Higher hardness for severe sliding abrasion.
Grade pageHardox 500 Tuf
475 to 505 HBW
Hardness, strength and toughness in one plate.
Grade pageHardox 550
550 HBW nominal
Between 500 and 600 for severe abrasion with some toughness.
Grade pageHardox 600
600 HBW nominal
The hardest standard wear plate grade.
Grade pageHardox Extreme
650 to 700 HBW
Maximum hardness for maximum sliding abrasion.
Grade pageHardox HiAce
450 HBW nominal
Wear plate for acidic, corrosive environments.
Grade pageHardox HiTuf
350 HBW nominal
The toughest grade for extreme impact.
Grade pageHardox HiTemp
400 HBW nominal
Wear plate that keeps working when it gets hot.
