| FORA 400 is a water quenched martensitic steel, with a typical hardness of 400HB (42.5 HRC), constituting a real answer to abrasive wear. Thanks to its toughness, its elevated hardness, its high yield strength, FORA 400 can be used wherever wear resistance to wear by sliding or by moderate impacts is required. Compared to conventional steels, such as S355, FORA 400 offers a real benefit to equipment life times and allows a significant thickness reduction in designs since its wear resistance is up to 3 times longer than S355 grade. Moreover, FORA 400 is very easily welded and has good forming properties thereby contributing to ease off fabrication. This steel is particularly suitable for applications in quarries, construction industry, mines, cement plants, iron and steel industry, etc. Information provided by manufacturer. |
