Case details
The German company HS Schoch now equips the majority of its skeleton buckets with Hardox® round steel bars. SSAB is the manufacturer of the well-known Hardox® wear plate, a through-hardened and tempered steel for high-strength, wear-resistant applications. SSAB has now extended its range of Hardox® steels with Hardox® round bars in a wide range of dimensions.
Compared to steel plates with a flame-cut sieve surface, these new round steel bars offer impressive benefits in skeleton buckets. Hardox® round steel bars are hard to the core and remain fully hardened even after the completed machining process.
Hardox® round bars are cut only to the length needed to manufacture the skeleton bucket. The heat input is minimized, leaving the steel’s hard and tough properties intact.

All Hardox® round bars are marked with SSAB Hardox® imprint.
