The microstructure of Duroxite® 201 contains primary chromium-rich carbides and refined multiple-alloy complex carbides with a typical hardness of 2500 to 3000 HK*) dispersed evenly in a ductile eutectic austenite matrix. The typical volume fraction of primary chromium-rich carbides is maintained between 30 to 40% with 7 to 10% of multi-alloy complex carbides.
*) HK is the Knoop microhardness used primarily for very brittle materials or thin sheets.
Plate flatness tolerance guaranteed over 1.5 m (5').
For custom sizes, please consult your local sales representative or Hardox Wearparts center for flatness guarantees.
Duroxite® 201 is normally supplied in an as-welded condition, but can also be supplied in a ground condition upon request.
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.
