Creusabro® 8000 is an advanced abrasion-resistant steel with a better compromise, in extreme applications, between abrasion resistance ant toughness (crack resistance). More than 50 % of wear life higher than 500 HB conventional water quenched steels.

Creusabro® 8000 capitalizes upon an innovative metal- lurgical concept, based on a specific chemical analysis. This chemical analysis is combined with a dedicated heat treatment conducted by Oil Quenching.

The successful use of Creusabro® 8000 for wear parts in different areas of industries is a result of :

• a superficial hardening following a very efficient work hardening capability in service, governed by a metallurgic phenomenon called TRIP effect (Transformation Induced by Plasticity).

• a very fine and homogeneous dispersion of hard particles in the steel (mainly chromium, molybdenum and titanium microcarbides) giving to the material its extremely high abrasion resistance.

In addition to its high wear resistance, Creusabro® 8000 provides a very good ability of processing (forming, machining...) much better than the existing 500 HB resistant steels.

Creusabro® 8000 is known as the best compromise for severe applications where exceptional abrasion, impact, heat and moderate corrosion are requested in service.

Creusabro® 8000 is currently used in typical industries such as : Mining, Quarries, Cement and Concrete industries, Iron making and Steel processing Recycling, Earthmoving (public works), Dredging...
