Global steel company SSAB is a leader in high-strength and wear resistant steels and related services. SSAB offers a comprehensive range of internationally-recognised brands, including the highly regarded Duroxite overlay products.

Duroxite overlay products are designed for conditions of extreme wear, such as abrasion,  heat, metal-to-metal and erosion wear.

Duroxite is particularly well suited to fighting sliding wear from exceptionally hard particles such as minerals containing quartz. By welding chromium or complex carbides, or other abrasion-resistant materials on top of mild or quenched and tempered steel, an extremely wear-resistant compound material is created.

Duroxite achieves its ground-breaking wear performance from a combination of SSAB’s metal expertise, a solid knowledge from a wide range of applications, optimised overlay materials, and sophisticated production equipment.

The production techniques for Duroxite are developed by SSAB and monitored at SSAB’s state-of-the-art testing facility, to ensure that wear resistance, welding, cutting, bending, impact, and other properties of all Duroxite products meet the strictest requirements.

The exceptional performance of Duroxite ensures higher output and lower maintenance, saving money and improving productivity. Duroxite overlay is the natural choice for industries active in quarries, mining, cement, energy, steel mills, recycling and many other applications where abrasive materials require extremely hard surfaces.

Even the most worn-out equipment can be rebuilt and repaired to perform as new, with SSAB’s broad product offering, including Hardox wear plate and Duroxite, as well as top-of-the-line processing equipment. Products can be restored to almost any condition, size, and design.

Installing Duroxite is easy, with no special equipment needed, with welding and bolting being the most common methods for installing Duroxite overlay plate or wear parts onto equipment.

Duroxite products are tough on wear wherever they are applied and SSAB’s team of highly skilled experts are happy to advise customers on the most cost-efficient and long-lasting solution for any wear environment or equipment.
