Hardox is a steel developed by the Swedish plant SSAB that is abrasion resistant with a nominal hardness ranging from 400 to 600 HB.

 

Ease of cutting, bending, welding and machining are characteristics that make this material a true "wild card", making its use quite common in equipment and parts bases and areas subject to wear.

 

The material has an excellent cost-benefit ratio and exceptional price with superior performance to its direct competitors due to heat treatment and differentiated chemical composition.

 

Tungstek do Brasil manufactures parts and equipment using these materials, such as conveyor screws, scrapers, sealing bars, plows, etc., in addition to using it as a base for fixing Tungsten Carbide inserts, further increasing their useful life.
