The steel grades durostat 400, durostat 450 and durostat 500 are wear-resistant special steels with hardness
of approx. 400 HB, 450 HB resp. 500 HB. These steels provide high levels of resistance to mechanical wear
and are specially suitable for components exposed to heavy abrasion, e.g. loading devices, shovels of wheel
loaders, bodies of trough tipping wagons, conveyors, excavator components, road machines, screens and
crushers.
The technical terms of delivery apply for plate

thicknesses from 8 - 100 mm for durostat 400, for
plate thicknesses from 8 - 50 mm for durostat 450
and for plate thicknesses from 10 - 30 mm for
durostat 500.

Quality test
Brinell hardness is measured according to ISO 6505 per heat and for every 40 t.
Hardness is measured approx. 1mm under the surface. The heat analysis is provided
as proof of the chemical composition. Notch impact bending test is done on longitudinal
samples at -40C and has to be agreed upon ordering.
Tolerances and surface finish

Unless otherwise agreed, tolerances according to EN 10029 (thickness
tolerance according to class A, flatness tolerance according to class N)
and surface finish according to EN 10163-A1 are valid.
Marking
In general, marking consists of:

Processing guidelines
Cold forming
durostat 400, durostat 450 and durostat 500 can be cold formed if the high hardness is taken into account.
The prerequisite for cold forming is the proper preparation of the cut edges. Grinding of the flame- or
shear-cut edges in the bending area is recommended. Due to the high level of hardness, bending must
take place slowly and steadily.
Recommended minimum bending radii

Heat treatment
In order to maintain its hardness, durostat 400, durostat 450 and durostat 500 may not be heated
above 200 C.
Welding
General information
Due to their chemical composition, plates of durostat 400, durostat 450 and durostat 500 are well-suited
for welding. All tested fusion welding methods can be employed, but metal inert gas shielded arc welding has proved especially effective (low hydrogen input). For reasons of crack prevention, basic-coated
electrodes with controlled hydrogen content should be used for manual electric arc welding. Prior to
welding, the electrodes must be dried according to manufacturer instructions. The diffusible hydrogen
content should be HD < 5 ml/100 g WM.
Filler materials and welding conditions (preheating, welding parameters)
The selection of the fillers depends on the strength requirements made on the welded joint. The following filler materials have proved practically:

If the design requires that the welds have the same wear-resistance as the base material, the top layers
can be welded with wear-resistant electrodes (e.g. UTP DUR 400 or UTP DUR 600) or equivalent inert
gas welding wires.
In order to minimise the risk of cold cracks, preheating according to picture 1 is recommended as well as
postheating (150 - 200 C/2 h) for preheating temperatures above 180 C.

The steel is fine-grain melted and can contain microalloying elements such as Nb and V.
As-delivered condition
The plates are delivered in as-rolled condition (hot-rolled, untreated), since usually heat treatment such
as quenching or tempering is carried out on the finished parts.

Welding
General information
The high hardness of approx. 500 HB of durostat B2 steel grade is obtained by alloying boron.
The chemical composition with a relatively low carbon content provides good weldability.
Due to their high strength and good hardenability, durostat B2 grades require extra care during
welding.
The generally valid and accepted rules for the welding of low-alloyed, higher-strength fine-grain
structural steel according to EN 1011-2 and STAHL-EISEN Werkstoffblatt (SEW) 088 are to be
observed.
Filler materials and welding conditions (preheating, welding parameters)
The selection of the fillers depends on the strength requirements made on the welded joint. The following filler materials have proved practically:

(e. g. Bhler FOX EV 75)
(e. g. Bhler X70-IG)
If the design requires that the welds have the same wear-resistance as the base material, the top layers
can be welded with wear-resistant electrodes (e.g. UTP DUR 400 or UTP DUR 600) or equivalent inert
gas welding wires. For reasons of cold cracking prevention, the hydrogen content in the weld material
should be very low (HD < 5 ml/100 g WM). This is generally guaranteed by inert gas shielded welding
with solid wire. Basic electrodes must be subjected to secondary drying according to manufacturers instructions in order to maintain this hydrogen criterion.
In order to prevent excessive hardening in the heat-affected zone and to obtain a high level of resistance
against hydrogen-induced cracks, preheating according to picture 1 and postheating (150 - 200 C /
2 hours) for plate thicknesses above 30 mm is recommended.
For specific applications, the precise preheating temperature can be established according to SEW 088
or EN 1011-2 on the basis of the chemical composition of the plate to be processed and the selected
welding parameters.
Welding parameters which lead to cooling times t8/5 of 10 - 20 seconds, have proved effective. They
result in optimum mechanical-technological properties (strength, toughness etc.) of the welds.
