Our steel recommendations for specific requirements
durostat® 500: Our steel for extreme demands
Wherever the highest mechanical stress, heavy abrasion, and a desire for weight savings come together, durostat® 500 fully plays to its strengths.
durostat® HM (X120Mn12): Gets hard and even harder
Soft and tough in the as-delivered condition—significantly harder under stress: from around 220 up to 600 HB. This makes this wear-resistant steel the material of choice for particularly demanding applications such as rock crushers or sandblasting equipment.
durostat® toughcore®: Wear-resistant steels with exceptionally high toughness
durostat® toughcore® combines maximum wear resistance with exceptional toughness down to –40 °C. The patented toughcore® process delivers unique material performance for the most demanding applications where safety, service life, and reliability are critical.
durostat® 400 CR: Optimally suited for welding
The cold-rolled durostat® 400 CR combines high hardness with very good weldability and expands the range of available dimensions to a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm. It is therefore the ideal material for components such as excavator buckets or bulk containers and helps to significantly extend their service life.

FAQs: Knowledge that moves you forward
In our FAQ section, we’ve compiled the most important information about durostat® for you. Here, you’ll find helpful answers regarding material and processing properties, areas of application, and much more. If you still have questions, we’d be happy to assist you personally.
Is durostat® easy to work with despite its high hardness?
Yes. durostat® combines high wear resistance with very good processability. Thanks to its homogeneous surface, low internal stresses, and excellent flatness, this premium steel is ideally suited for precise manufacturing processes such as laser cutting, bending, or forming—even for complex component geometries.
Is durostat® suitable for welded structures?
Yes. Thanks to its low carbon equivalent, durostat® offers excellent weldability. Depending on the material thickness, preheating may not even be necessary. This is complemented by practical welding advice, extensive expert knowledge, and digital support, such as the voestalpine Welding Calculator.
What advantages does durostat® offer beyond its material properties?
With durostat® you’re not just choosing a high-performance, wear-resistant steel—you’re also choosing comprehensive services. From practical application advice and custom-cut pieces to reliable delivery and tailored logistics solutions, customers benefit from a partnership-based approach that delivers real added value.
Which durostat® steel grade is right for my application?
The choice of the optimal durostat® steel grade depends on factors such as abrasion intensity, component geometry, processing requirements, and desired service life. With graded hardness levels of 400, 450, and 500 HB, as well as specialized variants (durostat® HM), durostat® offers the ability to tailor the performance profile specifically to the respective application.
Can I test durostat® before making a production decision?
Yes. Through sample shipments and the Material Challenge, voestalpine offers the opportunity to test durostat® under real-world operating conditions. In addition, comparative analyses can be conducted with existing materials. This provides you with a solid basis for selecting the optimal wear-resistant steel.
