Hardox® 500 Tuf Product Datasheet
Hardness, guaranteed toughness, and thickness groups for Hardox® 500 Tuf load-bearing wear parts.
Hardox® 500 Tuf
Wear-resistant steel for load-bearing buckets, bodies, and other wear parts.
What Is Hardox® 500 Tuf?
Hardox® 500 Tuf combines high hardness with guaranteed toughness and structural properties. It is used for wear parts that carry loads while resisting wear, such as buckets, tipper bodies, and containers. Any change in plate thickness needs to be assessed for the design.
