Dimension Range
Hardox® 500 Tuf is available as plate in thicknesses of 0.157" – 1.000" and as sheet in thicknesses of 0.118" - 0.256". More detailed information on
dimensions is provided in the dimension program.
Mechanical Properties

(in) (HBW) (ksi), not guaranteed
Hardox® 500 Tuf sheet 0.118 - 0.256 475 - 505 181 - 203
Hardox® 500 Tuf plate 0.157 - 1.000 475 - 505 181 - 203
1) Brinell hardness, HBW, according to EN ISO 6506-1, on a milled surface 0.019 – 0.118" below surface. At least one test specimen per heat and 40 tonnes. The nominal thickness of supplied plates
will not deviate more than +/- 0.590" from the thickness of the test specimen used for hardness testing. For sheet the Brinell hardness test is according to EN ISO 6506-1 on each heat treatment
individual/coil. Hardness is measured on a milled surface 0.012 - 0.079" below surface.
Hardox® wear plate is through-hardened. Minimum core hardness is 90 % of the guaranteed minimum surface hardness.
Impact Properties
Product Transverse test, guaranteed impact energy,
Charpy V 0.393 x 0.393" test specimen 1)
Hardox® 500 Tuf sheet 20 ft-lbs / -40 °F
Hardox® 500 Tuf plate 20 ft-lbs / -4 °F
1) Impact testing is performed on thicknesses ≥ 0.236" for plate and on thicknesses ≥ 0.118" for sheet . For thicknesses between 0.118 - 0.468", sub-size Charpy V-specimens are used. The specified
minimum value is proportional to the cross- sectional area of the test specimen, compared to a full-size specimen (0.393 x 0.393"). Impact testing according to ISO EN 148 per heat and thickness
group. Average of three tests.
Tolerances
More details are given in SSAB’s brochure Hardox® Guarantees or at www.ssab.com.
Thickness
Tolerances according to Hardox® Thickness Guarantee. Hardox® Guarantees meet the requirements of EN 10029 Class A for plate, but offer more narrow
tolerances. For sheets the guarantees meets the requirements of 1/2 EN 10051.
Length and Width
According to SSAB’s dimension program. For plate, the tolerances are according to SSAB´s mill edge standard or tolerances that conform to EN 10029. For
sheet the tolerances conform to EN 10051, tighter tolerances available on request.
Shape
Tolerances according to EN 10029 for plate and according to EN 10051 for sheet.
Flatness
For plate the tolerances are according to Hardox® flatness guarantees Class D, which are more restrictive than EN 10029. For sheet the tolerances are
according to Hardox® flatness guarantees Class A, that offer narrower tolerances compared to EN 10051.
Surface Properties
According to EN 10163-2 Class A, Subclass 1.
Delivery Conditions
The delivery condition is Q or QT (Quenched or Quenched and Tempered). Plates are delivered with sheared or thermally cut edges and thicknesses over
3.150" are delivered with mill edge as standard. Sheets are delivered with an as-rolled surface and mill edge as standard.
Bendability according to Hardox® Bending Guarantees Class F. For sheet the bendability are according to Hardox bending guarantees Class B.
Hardox® wear plate 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 482ºF .
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.
