<h1>Swedish Mining Operator Reduces Downtime and Costs with Hardox 600 Steel for Enhanced Wear Resistance and Durability</h1> The choice of wear-resistant steel is crucial for optimizing productivity and longevity in equipment handling abrasive materials like granite and iron ore. Hardox(R) 600, with a nominal hardness of 600 HBW, offers exceptional wear resistance and impact toughness, making it suitable for mining operations. Swedish mining operator LKAB adopted Hardox(R) 600 to reduce unplanned downtime and associated costs. SSAB, the manufacturer, collaborates with clients to optimize the use of Hardox(R) 600, providing technical support through local managers and Wearparts centers. SSAB is committed to sustainable steel production, including fossil-free and carbon emission-free options.
