Hardox® HiAce – Wear Plate for Corrosive & Acidic Environments

Introducing Hardox® HiAce, a wear-resistant steel designed specifically to withstand both corrosion and abrasion in acidic or moisture-rich conditions. While standard steel quickly deteriorates in corrosive environments, Hardox® HiAce remains durable and reliable. Built for demanding applications, this advanced wear plate offers longer service life, reduced maintenance, and exceptional toughness. Rely on it to perform anywhere, anytime, for as long as the work requires.
With mechanical performance on par with Hardox® 450 and a nominal hardness of 450 BHN, it offers dependable toughness and durability.

Designed to excel in acidic and corrosive settings where equipment typically deteriorates quickly, HardoxHiAce provides reliable protection in environments where corrosive wear is a constant threat. It’s particularly well-suited for municipal and industrial waste handling—such as garbage trucks, containers, and surfaces exposed to acidic waste in recycling operations—as well as equipment used in landfills; waste-to-energy and biomass facilities; pulp and paper mills; mining and quarrying; agriculture and forestry; and a range of process industries.
