| Description: FORA 500 is a water quenched martensitic steel, with a 500HB (51.5 HRC), typical hardness, resistant to very severe abrasion wear. Thanks to its mechanical properties, good toughness, high hardness and strength, FORA 500 steel can be used wherever a sliding wear resistance is required and where 400 HB steels do not provide sufficiently long service life. Compared to conventional steels, such as S355, FORA 500 offers a real improvement on the life time of equipment, up to 5 times longer and consequently allows a significant reduction in the design thickness. FORA 500 steel is particularly suitable for applications such as quarries, construction equipment, mines, cement plants, the iron and steel industry, etc. Information provided by manufacturer. |
