The toughness values in the weld metal
The consumables with the appropriate strengths for welding the Hardox® wear plate and Strenx® performance steel grades can, in many cases, attain favorable toughness values in the all weld metal.
There are seldom exact, specified toughness requirements for joints in the Hardox® wear plate grades. When measured, the impact toughness values in the weld metal are normally at a level of – or above – the typical impact toughness values for these steel grades.
