Hardwear 500F

HARDWEAR®, a line of premium abrasion-resistant plate steels, is available in four grades – HARDWEAR 400F, HARDWEAR 425F, HARDWEAR 450F and HARDWEAR 500F – with nominal Brinell hardness of the number in the grade title. These grades are all produced at facilities in Coatesville and Conshohocken, PA. HARDWEAR 400F is also produced at Burns Harbor, IN.

 

Each grade exhibits an excellent combination of hardness, abrasion resistance, formability, weldability, toughness and flatness to meet fabrication needs and end-use requirements. HARDWEAR steels are designed for through-thickness hardness while maintaining minimum carbon, alloy and carbon equivalent contents to improve weldability.

 

All HARDWEAR grades are heat treated. Thicker HARDWEAR 400F and all other HARDWEAR grades are quenched and tempered. Thinner HARDWEAR 400F plates may be untempered.
