When should Hardox® be selected?
Hardox is a family of wear-resistant steels for applications involving abrasive material. Specify the product grade, thickness and operating conditions, not just the brand. Hardox 400 properties cannot be generalised to all Hardox grades.
Source: SSAB — Technical reference ↗Do Strenx® and Hardox® serve the same purpose?
Strenx focuses on high-strength structural applications, whereas Hardox prioritises wear resistance. Selecting a higher-strength product does not replace project calculations. Final grade and thickness selection must consider loads, connections and fabrication conditions.
