Hardox 500 Tubes Hardox Tube 500, as hard and tough as our wear plates, offer outstanding performance when you need both high wear resistance and a lighter product. Despite its hardness, Hardox Tube 500 can be weld, cut, milled and drilled using standard workshop practices. It can replace costly wear products like hard-faced overlay plates and high chrome white iron.
