Hardox® HiAce
Hardox Hi Ace is the first plate in the world that is able to collectively prevent abrasion and corrosion.
Hardox HiAce has the same excellent properties as Hardox 450 but with an extra feature : to be able to meet
the challenge in wear corrosive environments such as “municipal” waste or corrosive environments raw material handling.
Hardox® HiAce
Meet the new ace in corrosion-resistant wear steel for acidic and humid environments. Hardox® HiAce, the latest addition to the Hardox® wear plate range, is an ace at fighting both abrasive wear and corrosion. It features the same excellent mechanical properties as Hardox® 450, with a Brinell hardness of 425-475 HBW, with the addition of 2.7 times longer service life, when corrosion is present.
A true wear fighter in acidic corrosive environments
Hardox® HiAce is a true wear fighter, especially in acidic and corrosive environments that threaten to eat
away at your equipment. This corrosion-resistant steel plate helps to meet the challenges of corrosive wear
environments found in municipal and industrial waste management, waste-to-energy plants, and in mining and
process industries.
Hardox® HiAce has the necessary hardness to provide a long service life, in combination with the toughness it
takes to perform as a structural steel. It also works in freezing temperatures thanks to its high impact toughness
with a minimum Charpy impact test value of 27 J at -20°C (20 ft-Ib at -4°F).
Protect your bottom line with Hardox® HiAce
Corrosive wear can take a real toll on equipment operating in acidic and low pH environments. In the long run this
leads to more maintenance, higher repair costs and a shorter service life — overall, lower productivity and
profitability.
If the steel in your containers, truck or tipper bodies and other equipment comes under attack from acids,
humidity, sulfur, chlorides, wood chips, household waste and other aggressive substances, service life can be a lot
shorter than expected. Hardox® HiAce can counter such attacks thanks to its special steel composition.
