HARDOX 500 PLATE
HARDOX 500 PLATE
General Product Description
The bendable, weldable and highly abrasion-resistant steel.
Hardox 500 is a bendable and weldable abrasion-resistant steel, with a nominal hardness of 500 HBW. Suitable for applications that
demand higher wear resistance.
Hardox 500 increases payload and increases service life while maintaining good processability and toughness.
Dimension Range
Hardox 500 is available in thicknesses of 4.0 – 103 mm. Hardox 500 is available in widths up to 3350 mm and lengths up to 14630
mm. More detailed information on dimensions is provided in the dimension program.
Mechanical Properties
Thickness Hardness 1) Typical yield strength (MPa),
(mm) (HBW) not guaranteed
4.0 - 32.0 470 - 530 1250 - 1400
32.1 - 103.0 450 - 540 1250 - 1400
1)
Brinell hardness, HBW, according to EN ISO 6506-1, on a milled surface 0.5 – 3 mm below surface. 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 is through-hardened. Minimum core hardness is 90 % of the guaranteed minimum surface hardness.
Impact Properties
Grade Longitudinal test, typical impact energy,
Charpy V 10x10 mm test specimen.
Hardox 500 1) 37 J/ -40 oC
1)
Impact toughness measured upon agreement. For thicknesses between 6 - 11.9 mm, subsize Charpy V-specimens are used. The specified toughness is
then proportional to the cross-sectional area of the test specimen, compared to a full-size specimen (10 x 10 mm). Impact testing according to ISO EN 148.
Average of three tests.

Delivery Conditions
The delivery condition is Q or QT (Quenched or Quenched and Tempered). The plates are delivered with sheared or thermally
cut edges. Thicknesses over 80 mm are delivered with mill edge as standard. Delivery requirements can be found in SSAB’s brochure
41-General product information Strenx, Hardox, Armox and Toolox-UK or at www.ssab.com.
Fabrication and Other Recommendations
Welding, bending and machining.
Recommendations can be found in SSAB’s brochures at www.hardox.com or consult Tech Support,
[email protected].
Hardox 500 is not intended 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 250ºC .
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.
