Duroxite® 500 overlay contains an ultra-fine complex borocarbide phase down to approximately 500 nm in a ductile matrix. The typical volume fraction of borocarbides is maintained between 60 to 70% to form a uniform hard matrix. The SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) / EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectrometry) analysis of the Duroxite® 500 overlay confirms that the refined borocarbides are niobium-rich borocarbides, and chromium-rich borocarbides dispersed in an iron-based matrix. The ultra-fine borocarbides are approximately 200 times finer than the traditional chromium carbides.
Tolerances according to Duroxite® Thickness Guarantee.
Duroxite® overall and overlay thickness tolerances can be guaranteed within ±10% of specified thickness.
Plate flatness tolerance can be guaranteed as shown below over 1.5 m (5’) plate length for plate dimensions less than or equal to 1.5 m (5’) x 3.0 m (10’).
For custom sizes, please consult your local sales representative or Hardox Wearparts center for flatness guarantees.
Duroxite® 500 is supplied in an as-welded condition.
Welding, cutting, forming and machining
Recommendations can be found in the Duroxite® Product brochure, or consult your local technical support representative.
Bendability for Duroxite® overlay plate are according to Duroxite® Bending Guarantees.
When welding or cutting Duroxite® products, gases and harmful fumes are produced that are chemically complex and difficult to classify. The major toxic component in the fumes is hexavalent chromium. The proper exhaust ventilation equipment and fume-extraction torches are recommended, as well as suitable protective clothing and respiratory protection for operators.
