                  Tolerances

                  More details are given in SSAB’s brochure Hardox® Guarantees.

                  Thickness

                  Tolerances according to Hardox® Thickness Guarantees.

                  Hardox® Guarantees meet the requirements of EN 10029 Class A, but offer more narrow tolerances.

                  Length and Width

                  According to SSAB’s dimension program. Tolerances conforms to EN 10029 or to SSAB’s standard after agreement.

                  Shape

                  Tolerances according to EN 10029.

                  Flatness

                  Tolerances according to Hardox® Flatness Guarantees Class C, which are more restrictive than EN 10029 class N.

                  Surface Properties

                  According to EN 10163-2 Class A, Subclass 1.

                  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.
