| EB-450® is a liquid quenched and tempered, through-hardened up to 3”, high impact alloy steel with excellent abrasion-resistant properties. Its balanced boron, modified nickel-chrome moly chemistry is ideal for achieving an optimum hardness to toughness ratio. EB-450 boasts a longer wear life due to its through-hardness which is more uniform than what is found in conventional carbon/ manganese steels. This quench-hardened material is competitively priced for optimum cost/wear rations. The resistance to atmospheric corrosion further reduces surface pitting. EB-450 is field proven in extremely abrasive bulk handling installations. Benefits: - Higher wear resistance, when compared to conventional steels, due to its uniform hardness.
- Easy to weld with normal low hydrogen simple techniques.
- May be flame cut with oxyacetylene, plasma or similar methods.
- Cold formable with heavy presses or rolls.
- The high hardness and toughness in combination with its low friction coefficient, reduces maintenance costs.
- EB-450 may be easily cut, welded, machined and cold formed, as required.
