Hardox® Wear Parts Center

What Makes Us Different

Equipment Blades Inc. is one of a select group of authorized Hardox® Wear Parts Centers in North America. That designation means we cut, form, drill, and fabricate certified Hardox® plate in-house — with SSAB engineering support behind every part.

It is not a reseller designation. We receive Hardox® plate directly, process it to your specifications, and ship finished wear parts from our facilities in Sioux Falls, SD and La Vista, NE.

Every part ships with full SSAB mill certification. You get the actual measured hardness from the mill test report — not just a nominal grade on a sticker. Generic AR400 can vary 60 or more HBW between offshore suppliers within the same grade name. Hardox® carries a guaranteed hardness window, per plate, every time.

Certified vs. Generic AR Plate

Why Certified Hardox® Matters

Generic AR plate carries a grade name. Hardox® carries a guaranteed hardness window, tested impact toughness, and a mill test report with actual data per heat lot — not estimates.

Consistency You Can Plan Around
Generic AR400 can vary 60 or more HBW between offshore suppliers within the same grade designation. Hardox® 400 is guaranteed 370–430 HBW per plate. That range is the difference between predicting replacement intervals and guessing them.
Welding Procedures That Exist
SSAB publishes grade-specific preheat requirements, filler metal recommendations, and minimum bend radii for every Hardox® grade. Most generic AR suppliers do not. When your crew needs to make a field repair at 6 AM, that documentation matters.
Mill Certification Per Heat Lot
Every Hardox® part we ship has an MTR on file: chemistry, actual hardness, and tensile data — all documented. For government fleet procurement, that paperwork is often required. For private operations, it is the only way to verify what you actually bought.
No Tariff Surcharges
Equipment Blades fabricates Hardox® wear parts in the USA. Section 232 steel tariffs apply to imported plate. Our customers do not pay tariff surcharges on top of base material cost. If you are sourcing from an overseas distributor, confirm whether tariff exposure is built into the price before comparing quotes.
