Hardox® HiTuf
Hardox® HiTuf is an abrasion-resistant steel plate that guarantees impact toughness of 40 J at -40°C (-40°F). With a nominal hardness of 350 HBW, Hardox® HiTuf is an ideal choice for thick plate applications that require exceptional toughness and structural properties. In many instances, it can serve as a substitute for castings or cast parts. This steel is frequently used as a structural wear component for thick cutting edges on large mining buckets and shovels, demolition tools, and rippers, as well as in wear bars and shrouds that protect the underlying structure.

Fabrication and other recommendations
Welding, bending and machining Recommendations can be found in SSAB’s brochures on www.hardox.com or consult Tech Support, techsupport@ssab.com.
Hardox® HiTuf is not intended for further heat treatment. It has obtained its mechanical properties by quenching and when necessary by means of subsequent tempering. The properties of the delivery condition cannot be retained after exposure to temperatures in excess of 500ºC .
Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on this product. Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with a high particle concentration.
