Wear Resistant Steel is designed to withstand abrasion, impact, and friction in the toughest environments. These steels are typically used in applications where mechanical wear and tear is a concern — including mining, earthmoving, cement, power, and steel plants.

In this blog, we list the Top 10 Wear Resistant Steel Grades globally recognized for their superior hardness, strength, and durability.

HARDOX® 400

• Brand: SSAB (Sweden)
• Hardness: 400 HBW
• Key Use: Dump bodies, crushers, hoppers
• Why Top: Offers excellent weldability and impact toughness.

HARDOX 500

• Hardness: 500 HBW

• Application: Mining equipment, chutes, crushers
• Benefit: Higher wear resistance with good formability.

RAEX 400 / 500

• Brand: SSAB
• Use: Dump trucks, conveyors, containers
• Strength: High hardness with reduced weight solutions.

JFE EH400 / EH500

• Brand: JFE Steel Corporation (Japan)
• Hardness: 400–500 HBW
• Key Advantage: Uniform hardness and toughness, highly machinable.

 ABREX® 400 / 500

• Brand: NSSMC (Japan)
• Use: Bulldozers, loader buckets, liners
• Feature: Great for fabrication, lightweight but tough.
