General Product Description
Sold through certified partners
SSAB now sells Raex the high-strength, wear-resistant steel with good hardness and impact toughness through SSABs
Certified Partner network. Raex helps extend the lifespan of machinery, decrease wear in structural components and save costs. It
also enables innovative design and lightweight products that improve energy efficiency.
Raex is a high-strength, wear-resistant steel with favorable hardness and impact toughness. It can help extend the lifespan of
machinery, decrease wear in structural components and save costs. It also enables innovative design and lightweight products
improving energy efficiency.
Applications include buckets and containers, cutting edges for earthmoving machines, wearing parts for mining machines, wearing
parts for concrete mixing plants and wood processing machines, platform structures, and feeders and funnels.
Dimension range
Raex 500 sheet is available in thicknesses of 3 to 6.5 mm and Raex 500 plate in thicknesses of 6 to 80 mm. Maximum width is
depending on thickness. More detailed information on dimension is provided at www.ssab.com.

Brinell Hardness is measured, according to EN ISO 6506-1 on milled surface 0.3-3.0mm below surface. Hardness value is being announced in the material
certificate. Mechanical properties are tested in transverse direction and tabulated for information only and values are not shown in material certificate.

Surface Properties
According to EN 10 163-2 Class A, Subclass 3.
Bending
Minimum inner bending radii for a 90 bend are:
Sheets, 3.5 x t (transverse) and 4 x t (longitudinal).
Plates t 20 mm, 5 x t (transverse) and 6 x t (longitudinal).
Delivery Conditions
The delivery condition is quenched. Sheets are available in as rolled surface condition with mill edge. Plates are available in as-rolled
or shop-primed surface condition. Delivery requirements can be found in SSABs brochure at www.ssab.com.
Fabrication and Other Recommendations
Welding, bending and machining recommendations can be found in brochures at www.ssab.com or consult Tech Support,
techsupport@ssab.com.
Raex 500 is not intended for further heat treatment. Mechanical properties are achieved by quenching. The properties of the
delivery condition cannot be retained after exposure to temperatures in excess of 250C.
Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on this product.
Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with a high particle concentration.
