Hardox® 550
Hardness of 550 Brinell units, strength close to that of Hardox® 500 steel
Hardox® 550 steel with a nominal hardness of 550 Brinell units and a viscosity comparable to that of Hardox® 500 steel extends the life of products due to increased wear resistance without compromising resistance to cracking.
What is firmness?
Hardox® 550 parts outperform steel counterparts with 12% manganese or 500 Brinell hardness units
Dimensions
Hardox® 550 steel is available in sheets with thicknesses from 8.0 to 65.0 mm, widths up to 2900 mm and lengths up to 14,630 mm. For more information on dimensions, see.
