Our products
HARDOX® steel is a trademark of high-strength wear-resistant steel produced by the Swedish company SSAB (Swedish Steel AB). This steel is known for its high strength, wear resistance, and resistance to mechanical damage, making it popular in various industries.
High hardness: The hardness of HARDOX® steel varies depending on its grade (e.g., Hardox 400, Hardox 450, Hardox 500, etc.), where the numbers indicate the hardness level on the Brinell scale (HB).
Impact toughness: Despite its hardness, the steel retains high toughness, preventing cracking under impact loads.
Abrasion resistance: Used in conditions requiring a long service life in environments with intensive friction or impact loads.
Unlike many other hard steels, HARDOX® combines strength with ductility. This means the material is not prone to cracking under stress, impacts, or vibrations.
Used in tipper truck bodies, road rollers, graders, drilling rigs, and crushing equipment. HARDOX® increases the lifespan of these components, reducing replacement costs.
Equipment longevity: due to reduced wear.
Weight reduction: of structures, as thinner metal can provide the same strength.
Combination of Hardness and Impact Toughness in HARDOX®
It is precisely hardness that gives HARDOX® steel its unique wear resistance and structural strength. Hardness minimises wear by preventing sharp particles of abrasive materials from cutting into the material. HARDOX® steel retains its original wear resistance throughout its entire service life, as its hardness remains unchanged. Hardness also implies high yield strength and tensile strength values, which allow the structure to maintain its shape without deformation.
Another advantage of HARDOX® is its impact toughness. While hardness provides wear resistance and strength, impact toughness allows HARDOX® steel to be bent, formed, and welded without cracking. If a HARDOX® steel sheet experiences stress beyond its yield strength and undergoes plastic deformation—whether intentionally during manufacturing or due to the impact of a heavy rock at a worksite—cracking will not occur. Even if a localised crack forms, it will not propagate to other areas.
The impact toughness values for Hardox HiTuf, Hardox 450, and Hardox 500 are guaranteed minimums at -40°C, -20°C, and 0°C, respectively. Compared to standard S355 steel, Hardox HiTuf, for example, has three times greater resistance to permanent deformation (hardness) while maintaining the same resistance to cracking (impact toughness).
Fighting Wear and Weight
What steel hardness suits you? Most likely, a combination of steel grades that withstand different wear conditions. In a tipper truck body, one type of HARDOX® steel may be used for the floor, while another is used for the sides, ensuring an equal service life for the entire body. According to calculations using the WearCalc 2.0 program (see illustration), Hardox 600 will last nine times longer than low-carbon steel under identical wear conditions.
A Brief Visual Example of Hardox® Strength
It takes just a fraction of a second to witness the unique performance characteristics of HARDOX® steel. The impact force from large and heavy objects is distributed across the entire surface, preventing dents and cracks. The metal absorbs energy and returns to its original shape, similar to how a tennis racket strikes a ball.

Hardox® 500 Tuf – ideal steel for the processing industry
Containers made from Hardox® 500 Tuf steel are lightweight, highly durable, and ready for operation in the most challenging conditions of the recycling industry. The Finnish company Ferreus switched to using Hardox® 500 Tuf steel and reduced the weight of their containers by over one ton. Heavy and sharp materials, such as scrap metal, reinforced concrete, and demolished building components, pose no challenge to Hardox® 500 Tuf steel. A recycling container will remain in excellent condition after an entire day of transporting heavy loads.
Hardox® 500 Tuf steel increases the reliability of concrete mixers
By using Hardox® 500 Tuf steel, concrete mixers become lighter and more durable. Engineers at the German company Stetter know this firsthand, as they were able to reduce the weight of their drums. Using wear-resistant Hardox® 500 Tuf steel instead of Hardox® 400 and Hardox® 450 allows for thinner drum walls, thus reducing weight while maintaining long service life. When using material of the same thickness, the drum can last even longer. In any case, Hardox® 500 Tuf wear-resistant steel enhances the competitiveness of this product.
