Delivery Conditions

The delivery condition is Quenched. The plates are delivered with sheared or thermally cut edges. Untrimmed edges after agreement.

Delivery requirements can be found in SSAB’s brochure Hardox® Guarantees or www.ssab.com.

Fabrication and Other Recommendations

Welding, bending and machining

Recommendations can be found in SSABs brochures at www.hardox.com or consult Tech Support.

Hardox® HiTuf is not intend for further heat treatment. It has obtained its mechanical properties by quenching and when necessary by means of subsequent tempering. The properties of the delivery condition cannot be retained after exposure to temperatures in excess of 450ºC .

Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on this product. Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with a high particle concentration.
