Hardox® 500 Product Datasheet
Product forms, hardness ranges, and fabrication conditions for Hardox® 500 abrasion-resistant steel.
What Is Hardox® 500?
Hardox® 500 has a nominal hardness of 500 HBW. It is used for screens, liners, and other wear parts exposed to severe abrasion. Impact loads, thickness, and fabrication requirements still need to be considered when selecting it.
SSAB® product information reviewed 10 October 2026. Dimensions are manufacturer ranges, not BSF stock. Typical impact values are not guaranteed; specimen size, direction, thickness, and test temperature affect the result. Check the full specification before ordering.
