By removing stiffeners and using the high load and lifetime performance of Hardox® 450, the weight could be reduced by 35% at the same time as the lifetime doubled from 6 years to 12 years.
SSAB EcoUpgraded
Together with our customers, SSAB continually upgrades steel and equipment designs. SSAB EcoUpgraded saves CO2 both in steel production and during the full lifetime of the machine.
