No carbon-emission steel
SSAB will be highlighting the recent 50th anniversary of Hardox ® at bauma , with an emission-free Hardox wear plate symbolising how far the company has come in those five decades .
The year 1974 saw a breakthrough in steelmaking when steelmaker SSAB introduced the world ’ s first bendable wear plate . A unique combination of hardness and toughness , this helped to solve the issue of brittleness in conventional abrasion-resistant steels , which

were nearly impossible to bend and could not withstand heavy impact in use .
In 1983 , SSAB ’ s mill in Oxelösund , Sweden , created a truly hard wear plate that was branded as Hardox – a name that describes its strength . Today , it ’ s still produced in Sweden , the USA and Finland .
It all started with Hardox 400 , launched in 1974 . It was the first user-friendly wear plate with mechanical properties that allowed it to be cut , bent , welded and machined without any hassle in the workshop .
Then came Hardox 450 , further positioning Hardox as the wear-resistant steel of choice for demanding customers across the world . After this ultimate workhorse came a wide variety of grades to meet almost any conceivable worksite challenge : Hardox 500 Tuf , Hardox HiAce and Hardox HiTemp . When Hardox 500 Tuf was released , it was rapidly adopted as the new standard for wear plate . With its hardness and toughness , it delivers unparalleled performance , even in freezing conditions , and can be used in nearly any application , according to the company . The full product range also includes extra-tough Hardox HiTuf , and for wear parts and liners that need exceptional hardness , customers can choose from Hardox 500 , Hardox 550 , Hardox 600 and Hardox Extreme .
The company said : “ As we look back on 50 years of progress , we remain firm in our commitment to develop a steel that meets the challenges of a modern world . That ’ s why we ’ re thrilled to present our first-ever emission-free steel in the Hardox range this year : Hardox 450 made from SSAB Zero™ .”
