Case details

Industry Yellow goods and construction

In this scenario 2,250 kg of Strenx® 700 and Hardox® 400 high-strength steel replaces 3,000 kg of conventional steel with 355 MPa strength, reducing the weight of these parts by 25%. In addition we also upgrade the liner package of approximately 1,500 kg from a 400 HBW steel to Hardox® 500, which doubles the time between replacements to 8,000 hours.
