How to cut HARDOX400 wear resistant plate

HARDOX400 wear resistant plate is very hard, so it is very difficult to cut. How to cut HARDOX400 wear resistant plate?

1. HARDOX400 wear resistant plate is suitable for cold cutting and hot cutting. Cold cutting includes water jet cutting, shearing, sawing or abrasive cutting, and thermal cutting includes oxygen fuel flame cutting, plasma cutting and laser cutting.

3. The flame cutting method for HARDOX400 wear resistant plate is as simple as the cutting for ordinary low carbon and low alloy steel. With the thickness and hardness of the HARDOX400 wear resistant plate increase, the cutting edge tend to be easier to generate cracks.

The most effective way to prevent HARDOX400 wear resistant plates from cutting cracks is to preheat before cutting. Before the flame cutting, the HARDOX400 wear plate is usually preheated, its preheating temperature depends mainly on the thickness of the HARDOX400 wear resistant plate. The preheating method can be carried out by flame burning gun, electronic heating pad, and heating furnace can be used.
