DURSTEEL 460 – Wear resistant steel
DURSTEEL 460 is a quenched and tempered abrasion resistant steel with a nominal hardness of 460 HB. It endures severe wear and tear and its high yield strength allows it to absorb high impact loads without deformation. In addition to its hardness and toughness characteristics, DURSTEEL 460 wear-resistant steel can be easily processed due to its high quenching quality and is characterized by good processability (bending, machining, welding).
Application of wear-resistant steel 460HB
This wear-resistant steel has excellent rolling, crunching and bending properties. DURSTEEL 460 maintains its properties up to a temperature of 250°C. The use of DURSTEEL 460 for heat treatment or hot dip galvanizing is not recommended. For all uses of abrasion steels at higher temperatures, we recommend the use of our Creusabro grades or DURANOX 12 steels. DURSTEEL 460 is a Q&T steel with a low carbon equivalent allowing good weldability. However, some precautions must be taken when welding. Preheating is recommended for thicknesses of 20mm and above.
