Rotary and Impact Crushers
Rotary and impact crushers generate a uniform, granular product as they crush aggregates used in asphalt, concrete, etc.
Several parts of rotary crushers and impact crushers have been successfully upgraded to Hardox and Duroxite steels. With a combination of exceptional hardness and weldability, the results are better than ever before. By replacing traditional manganese castings, you can gain a longer equipment service life and easier maintenance.
Grain Processing
Wear in agriculture industry is mostly generated through ground contact. The choice of wear parts requires a deep knowledge of the local conditions such as the number of plowed hectares for different selections of material in the plough.
Hardox wear plate, Toolox engineering & tool steel and Duroxite overlay products all have their special properties. Hardox Wearparts centers have the competence to select the most cost-effective material for each wear application.
A plough blade made with Duroxite can, for example, last five times longer than a conventional boron steel blade. Another example is harrow discs in Hardox 600 that can be made thinner and still last longer than discs made of boron steel.
Hardox HiAce
Hardox wear plate continues to take up the battle against wear in tough environments. Hardox now welcomes a new steel to the product range that fights wear in acidic corrosive environments: Hardox HiAce.
Thanks to environmental awareness around the globe, we now have more responsible ways of using energy resources and recycled material from waste separation. But it also means a tougher environment for equipment in many industries. To meet this challenge, the Hardox range now includes Hardox HiAce – a true wear-fighter even when under attack from acid in corrosive environments.
Hardox HiAce offers the same excellent properties as Hardox 450, with an extra feature: it can meet the challenges of corrosive wear environments found in municipal and industrial waste management, waste-to-energy plants, in mining and in other industries with acidic environments.
When the pH level goes down different wear mechanisms kick in, and harder steels won’t necessarily provide a longer equipment service life. Hardox HiAce performs the same as 450 HBW steel in a regular wear environment, but at lower pH levels, it can extend service life up to 3 times compared with 400 HBW steel.
Hardox HiAce has the toughness it takes to perform as a structural material in garbage trucks, recycling containers, tipper and dump bodies, and other heavy-duty products. It also delivers outstanding performance in freezing conditions.
Hardox HiAce has a guaranteed impact energy of 27J at -20 °C (20 ft-lb at -4°F). It is available in thicknesses of 4-25.4 mm (5/32-1 in.) according to the dimension program below. Hardox HiAce can be processed by the same kind of machinery used for other Hardox grades. The bendability is the same as for Hardox 450.
| Hardness | Impact Toughness CVT Guaranteed J at -20C (ft-lb at 4F) | Service Life in Acid Environment Subjected to Wear (Relative to 400 HBW Steel) | CEV/CET Typical for 20mm (¾”) | Thickness Range mm (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal HBW 425 - 475 | 27 J (20 ft-lb) | Up to 3 times | .99/.38 | 4.0 - 25.4 (5/32 - 1”) |
Custom Liners & Wear Parts
Liner Plates
Custom-made liner plate made in Hardox and Duroxite delivers outstanding wear resistance in chutes, feeders, crushers, bins, buckets and more.
Wear is mainly either sliding wear or impact wear. Duroxite is ideal for low to moderate impact, while Hardox can withstand all kinds of impact and keep on performing. Essential for ensuring a long service life is the liner installation, which is typically welded or bolted on. Using stud welding can further enhance the strength and lifespan.

Sanitation & Recycling
Paper/Saw Mills
Hardox HiAce
A newcomer in the Hardox product range, Hardox HiAce can stand up to corrosive wear in acidic and low pH environments in pulp, paper and saw mills.
SSAB has researched the field of corrosive wear for several years and developed a new grade of steel more suitable for these environments: Hardox HiAce.
Pulp, paper and saw mills have a lot to gain by using Hardox HiAce. Processing and transporting logs, bark, wood chips and sawdust create an acidic and low pH environment in the entire production process. This leads to accelerated wear of the equipment.
Hardox HiAce offers the same excellent mechanical properties as Hardox 450, such as hardness, yield strength and toughness. The difference is how Hardox HiAce deals with corrosive wear.
When pH levels go down different wear mechanisms kick in. A harder steel won’t necessarily provide a longer equipment service life. Hardox HiAce performs the same as a 450 HBW steel in a regular wear environment. However, at lower pH levels it can extend service life up to two times compared to a 400 HBW steel.
In tests, we compared Hardox HiAce to stainless steel using different acids and abrasives. The results indicate that Hardox HiAce can outperform ordinary stainless steel, such as SS304, by almost 20%.
Hardox HiAce can also perform as a structural steel. It has a guaranteed impact energy of 27 J at -20 °C (20 ft-lb at -4°F). It is available in thicknesses of 4-25.4 mm (0.157- 1″) according to the dimension program below.
Hardox HiAce can be processed by the same kind of machinery used for other Hardox grades. The bendability is the same as for Hardox 450.
| Hardness | Impact Toughness CVT Guaranteed J at -20C (ft-lb at 4F) | Service Life in Acid Environment Subjected to Wear (Relative to 400 HBW Steel) | CEV/CET Typical for 20mm (¾”) | Thickness Range mm (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal HBW 425 - 475 | 27 J (20 ft-lb) | Up to 2 times | .99/.38 | 4.0 - 25.4 (5/32 - 1”) |
Waste Collection
Hardox HiAce
The trend today is to build lighter waste collection trucks that save fuel and have higher load capacity. Since municipal waste creates an acidic and corrosive environment, it puts special demands on the choice of steel.
SSAB has researched the field of corrosive wear for several years and developed a new grade of steel more suitable for these environments: Hardox HiAce. This steel has the benefit of resisting corrosive wear in municipal waste management, in refuse trucks, waste-to-energy plants, recycling facilities and other industries with acidic environments.
The higher wear resistance allows for the use of thinner steel that reduces weight and still gives a longer service life. Lighter waste collection trucks are more cost-efficient for the fleet operator and give a lower environmental impact.
Several waste collection truck producers have used Hardox HiAce and feedback has been very positive. Two garbage trucks with Hardox HiAce in the floor plate have been running for more than a year in Sweden. Measurements and visual inspections of the trucks’ floor indicate that Hardox HiAce lives up to the tough requirements in this challenging environment.
Hardox HiAce has the same excellent mechanical properties as Hardox 450, such as hardness, yield strength and toughness. The difference is how Hardox HiAce deals with corrosive wear.
When the pH level goes down, different wear mechanisms kick in. Harder steels won’t necessarily provide a longer equipment service life. Hardox HiAce performs similar to a 450 HBW steel in a regular wear environment. At lower pH levels, it can extend service life up to 3 times compared with an AR400 steel.
In tests, we compared Hardox HiAce to stainless steel using different acids and abrasives. The results indicate that Hardox HiAce can outperform ordinary stainless steel, such as SS304, by almost 20%.
Hardox HiAce can also perform as a structural steel. It has a guaranteed impact energy of 27 J at -20 °C (20 ft-lb at -4 °F). It is available in thicknesses of 4-25.4 mm (0.157- 1″) according to the dimension program below. It can be processed by the same kind of machinery used for other Hardox grades. The bendability is the same as for Hardox 450.
| Hardness | Impact Toughness CVT Guaranteed J at -20C (ft-lb at 4F) | Service Life in Acid Environment Subjected to Wear (Relative to 400 HBW Steel) | CEV/CET Typical for 20mm (¾”) | Thickness Range mm (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal HBW 425 - 475 | 27 J (20 ft-lb) | Up to 3 times | .99/.38 | 4.0 - 25.4 (5/32 - 1”) |
Recycling
Hardox 500 Tuf
Hardox 500 Tuf is the latest upgrade in the Hardox range. It delivers high strength, extreme hardness and guaranteed toughness in one and the same wear plate.
Hardox 500 Tuf combines the best properties from the Hardox 450 and Hardox 500 grades. The result is a wear plate with no real competition on the market.
It has the toughness necessary to perform as a structural material in recycling containers, tipper bodies, buckets and other heavy-duty products. It also works in freezing conditions as the impact energy values indicate.
Superior wear and dent resistance gives extended service life and the ability to endure heavy impact.
Typical working conditions include loading or dropping heavy and sharp materials into recycling containers or tipper bodies, for example steel scrap or pieces of concrete with rebar from demolition.
Hardox 500 Tuf has a guaranteed impact energy of 27 J at -20°C, and a typical value of 45 J at -40°C. It has an unusually narrow Brinell hardness window of 475-505 HBW. The estimated relative service life for Hardox 500 Tuf is 85-100% longer than for Hardox 400 according to WearCalc and TippCalc.
Workshop-Friendly
Hardox 500 Tuf can be processed by the same kind of machinery used for other Hardox grades. Bendability recommendations are similar to those for Hardox 450.
| Hardness | Impact Toughness CVT Guaranteed J at -20C (ft-lb at 4F) | Impact Toughness CVL Typical For 20 mm (¾”), J at -40C (ft-lb at -40F) | Relative Service Life Interval (Relative to Hardox 400) | CEV/CET Typical for 20mm (¾”) | Thickness Range mm (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal HBW 475/505 | 27 J (20 ft-lb) | 45 J (33 ft-lb) | 1.3-2.1 | .52/.36 | 4 - 25 (5/32 - 0.985”) |
