"CHROMAX" PLATE has hardness range of 55 to 65 HRC (Rockwell C Scale) depending on grade. Hardness is uniform throughout the overlay thickness."CHROMAX" PLATE consists of up to 60% by volume of Chromium rich carbides in an Iron matrix."CHROMAX" PLATE offers unparalleled resistance to high stress abrasion and prolonged impact loading at a high temperature up to 700°C.
Cold abrasion tests have shown an improvement in wear resistance at 30 times that of mild steel. 3 to 1 improvement over traditional wear resistant materials such as Ni-Hard. Normal conditions show 12 to 1 improvement over heat treated Manganese Steel Hot abrasion tests have shown 20 to 1 improvement over mild steel.
