Herdox 650 disks are now sold

One buffertank sold, 7 left

Hardox 650? Are you sure? Do you mean Hardox 450, because that is the only steel I bring in to the UK that looks anything like the material you are offering. Where did you get that steel specification from, because I am sure that your answer will make a difference to the person that bought it, having assumed that it is 650 brinell hardness.

Hardox 650 in the Disks.
These were watercut for the Swedish roboteer Christian from an 8mm thick testplate he secured from SSAB. Unfortunatly, the watercutting firm misunderstood the order and had cut more disks than asked for.
The axehead of Obsidian is from that same plate.

SSAB didnt commercialise this grade, and the highest grade available is the 600.

I never succeeded drilling a hole in it, nor enlarging existing holes. The drills heat up and that was it.

Tensile strength: 2000 N/mm2
Hardness: 650 Brinell
Were I believe the specs originally quoted by Christian.

That would make more sense. He must have got some Hardox extreme parts from our laboratory workshop in Oxelosund.

Johnny ...I apologise in advance for this ...but feel it has to be said.
Some of your posts ..... seem to me ...to have a rather abrasive tone and are not always made from a position of total knowledge.

Copy & Paste from FanFic follows...

I work for SSAB and Hardox is a trademark word. Hardox is also open to all the usual trademark abuse that you will find across the world. I was pretty laid back about the abuse of the word Hardox and the fighting robot fraternity until I came across some bloke who sold some Hardox 650 discs to one of your members. As Hardox650 is only used in South Africa and has a minimum thickness of 50mm this has to be rubbish.
-2>we seem to have that cleared up....
Again, if you need some help please let me know.

We are always happy to have input and help from posters on this Forum.

My last comment above is a genuine appreciation of your offer and NOT a put down.

Cheers Alan ( Woody )

I have just found 2 more Hardox 650 disks in the garage.
£50 a pop if anyone wants them (after the rare as rocking horse poo discussion above, I think they are worth a premium??)
In other words, Im keeping them, but would be daft not to take £50 if offered :)

6 Ali extinguishers left, open to offers

Woody, I accept that my posts are a bit short and abrasive. I have just apologised on another thread too, I must have been having a bad day.
I work with engineers and production managers all day and my e-mails are generally to the point and short. As I stated in the other thread, this does not translate very well into a forum discussion. I have not been posting long and now I know that I need to tone it down in the future. I hope that nobody has taken offence to my posts.
My offer still stands, if anyone needs help with Hardox I am still available.

No problem Johnny.
Posting on an open Forum can be a bit of a minefield .
Each person puts their own interpretation /spin upon reading each post and offence can be taken to a perceived ...though unintentional ...slight.

A little care in the wording can usually avoid this situation...prefacing or terminating postings with something like IMHO can soften a seemingly arrogant statement.

Looking forward to you continued input.

Cheers Alan (Woody)
