AstraWear 450F is a water tempered martensitic steel, with typical hardness of 450 BHN, which offers a real response to wear from abrasion. Its resistance, high hardness, and yield strength make it highly resistant to plastic deformation and wear from scraping and impact. AstraWear 450F shows resistance to wear typically equal to 4 times and any yield strength 3 times greater than those of a A572-50 (S355) steel. Using AstraWear 450F represents a major improvement in terms of service life and lightening of equipment by reducing thickness. AstraWear 450F is easy to process, has good welding capacity and good bendability, considering its outstanding mechanical properties. This steel is especially suited for applications in quarries, construction, mines, cement plants, and the iron and steel industry, among others. AstraWear 450F is a grade especially suited for manufacturing truck bodies.Information provided by Astralloy, a Nucor Company. |
