Hardox - the ideal steel for dump bodies

Steelmaker SSAB is world-renowned for its Hardox® line of wear-resistant steels.

Until 2002, high wear steels were too brittle to bend – fabricators were limited to cutting, welding and assembling the flat steel sheets. All that changed with SSAB’s development of a new Hardox material that combines high hardness with bending ability: Hardox 450.

Testing by SSAB demonstrated that shallow bends in a sheet of Hardox can increase the sheet’s structural rigidity without compromising its ability to flex under stress. It was this revelation that led Beau-Roc to the Diamond sidewall profile.

BENDING WITHOUT BREAKING

Many companies may buy Hardox, but not every factory can bend it. With our large, precise 600, 1000 and 1250-ton brake presses, only Beau-Roc has made the investment in both design and manufacturing to apply structural bends to Hardox without cracking the material or sacrificing wear resistance.

TRUE NUMBERS

We have partnered with the makers of Hardox steel, SSAB, since their material consistently meets their specified range for hardness and bendability. The competitive materials can vary by much more, as much as +/- 50 points on the hardness standard.

LIGHTER DUMP BODIES

Produced in thicknesses from 3.0 to 80 mm, Hardox allows Beau-Roc engineers to give a full range of dump bodies the strength they require without the added weight of reinforcing posts and braces. Compared to traditional dump bodies, Diamond bodies built with Hardox can deliver more payload, and also use less fuel on the return trip.

MORE RESILIENT

When high tensile, premium steel sheets, like Hardox, are assembled using old-style vertical posts, impacts on the panel can deform the post, causing dents and dimples to appear in the sidewall. Removing the posts from the steel sheet, allows the Hardox to act as a “trampoline”, effectively springing back to its original shape upon impact. By eliminating posts from the structure, the Diamond bodies take full advantage of the material’s resilience to absorb impacts and stress, and to last longer with fewer repairs.
