Hardox

[craig_colliass]

Ive been quoted £445+VAT for Hardox sheet 3.2mm *1500mm*2000mm. Is this a good price?

[leorcc]

Its a steep price. Ive paid less than half of that for mine.

It is a 77 kg sheet after all.

That gives us £5.7/kg. Rather normal for a high strength low alloy steel. But it can be gotten cheaper with a bit of searching.

Leo, we did buy a part of a full sheet. 6000*2500mm 3.2mm thick. Together with a few other Dutch roboteers.

Where is that quote from? Its much cheaper to buy 4mm if you have the weight for about half of the price of 3.2mm

@mario: Even so, at twice the price we are still under that quote. I know we got a discount, but not that big of a discount.

I have had a quote for 3mm*1500mm*3000mm hardox 4oo cost about £250. This sounds ok and he says its 3mm I didnt think you could get that size! This sounds a good price I will have some spare when it arrives if anyone wants any I should be able to bring some on the RR winter tour shows or the RL Hemel Hempstead show

That sounds VERY cheap to me.

Where is the quote from, do you know if more is available at that price?

Hi I have just been on the phone to the supplier about this steel he says its not Hardox as this is a trade name, but the steel is the same as Hardox 400. So I am prepared to try this and see if it is as good. The supplier is a company called
