Creusabro Dual is a new, advanced, high performance grade of abrasion resistant steel dedicated to severe impact and sliding wear conditions in service. Thanks to its outstanding wear resistance, the use of Creusabro Dual should be considered in applications where conventional water quenched steels (500 HB, 550 HB), hard faced plates, or cast wear parts are traditionally used. Creusabro Dual advanced properties have been created using an innovative metallurgical concept, based on a unique combination of chemical composition and heat treatment procedures (oil quenching), which reduces the level of residual stresses encountered with drastic quenching methods such as water. This confers to Creusabro Dual an outstanding extra wear resistance, a strong resistance in extreme impact and sliding conditions and a very efficient work hardening capability in service. No other steel offers such high wear and abrasion resistance at this level of hardness (500HB), combined with high resistance to cracking in service.Information provided by Sandvik |
