    General Product Description

    The extra-high tough steel for structural wear parts

    Hardox® HiTuf is an abrasion-resistant plate with guaranteed impact toughness. With a nominal hardness of 350 HBW, it’s a good choice for structural wear parts like thick cutting edges, demolition tools and rippers.

    Dimension Range

    Hardox® HiTuf is available in thicknesses of 40.0 - 160.0 mm. Hardox® HiTuf is available in widths up to 3350 mm and lengths up to 14630 mm. For thicknesses over 125 mm preferred width is 1650 mm. More detailed information on dimensions is provided in the dimension program.

        1) Brinell hardness, HBW, according to EN ISO 6506-1, on a milled surface 0.5 – 3 mm below surface for plate. At least one test specimen per heat and 40 tons.

        The nominal material thickness will not deviate more than ± 15 mm from that of the test specimen.

        Hardox® wear plate is through-hardened. Minimum core hardness is 90 % of the guaranteed minimum surface hardness.

                    Fabrication and Other Recommendations

                    Welding, bending and machining

                    Recommendations can be found in SSABs brochures at www.hardox.com or consult Tech Support.

                    Hardox® HiTuf is not intend for further heat treatment. It has obtained its mechanical properties by quenching and when necessary by means of subsequent tempering. The properties of the delivery condition cannot be retained after exposure to temperatures in excess of 450ºC .

                    Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on this product. Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with a high particle concentration.
