[QUOTE="Tim Howard, post: 5727408, member: 65586"] Hardox 600 is 500 with extra heat treatment which is often lost in cutting. Machining the bevel on the disc would not soften the steel as you would be using coolant. However hardness dose not determine its life. I have used steel that has tested 550 and 600 which has lasted no longer than a standard 500 wear plate. I have never found a work hardening steel that out preforms 500 and I have tried. Ps. I don't use Swedish Steel any more who make Hardox as it is a lean steel and is overpriced. although they do now own the mill in Finland which is my current supplier. Deutz can you get hardox 600 in 5mm? Thicker steel will cause more drag, reduce penetration and not last any longer in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
