Duroxite 300 overlay plate has been developed by Hardox Wearparts, a division of SSAB, and is designed to provide long service life in wet and dry sliding-wear environments. Compared to traditional tungsten carbide overlay, Duroxite 300 economically delivers high resistance to abrasive wear, according to company offi- cials. The overlay materials contains a high volume of an ultra-fine complex boro- carbide phase. Grain size is refined to 500 nm, reportedly making the borocar- bides approximately 200 times finer than traditional chromium carbides. Reported results include outstanding wear perform- ance and increased impact resistance.

The high wear resistance of the boro- carbides allows for a reduced overlay thickness and lighter weight as compared to traditional overlays, and Duroxite 300 maintains a consistent wear resistance from the surface down to 75 percent of the overlay.
