Steel Industry Glossary › HardoxWhat is Hardox and why is it used in industrial applications? Hardox is a wear-resistant steel developed for heavy-duty applications, offering high toughness. Typically, it meets EN 10051 and ASTM A514 standards. Its exceptional hardness, ranging from 350 to 600 HBW, makes it ideal for mining, construction, and manufacturing industries. Hardox plates minimize wear in extreme conditions, leading to longer equipment life and reduced maintenance costs.
