DURAPLATE D34T / Hardlite
Straight-Bead Hardfacing Steels
Hardlite is an ultra-thin wear-resistant hardfaced overlay plate, designed to provide one of the highest hardness levels on the market (64–66 HRC).
Its low-dilution, highly homogeneous chromium carbide overlay ensures excellent resistance to severe abrasion while withstanding moderate impact levels.
Thanks to its thinness and mechanical properties, Hardlite is highly flexible and can be easily formed, including into tubes up to Ø100 mm.

Why choose Duraplate D34T ?
Hardlite combines exceptional wear resistance with a thin profile, significantly reducing the weight of installations while extending their service life.
Its homogeneous structure, rich in chromium carbides, provides a consistent hardness of 64–66 HRC, ideal for environments with extreme abrasion.
Lighter than a conventional hardfaced plate while remaining highly effective, it simplifies forming operations and facilitates integration into assemblies requiring weight savings or specific geometries.
With Hardlite, you get premium, durable protection that is easy to implement, even under tight space or weight constraints.
