Is Hardox the same as AR? steel plate

Hardox and AR (Abrasion Resistant) are not the same, but they are related. Hardox is a brand of wear-resistant steel produced by the Swedish company SSAB. It is known for its high hardness and toughness, making it suitable for applications that require resistance to abrasion, impact, and wear.

AR, on the other hand, is a general term used to describe various types of abrasion resistant steels. It is a broad classification that encompasses different grades and types of steel designed to withstand abrasion and wear.

While Hardox can be considered a type of AR steel, not all AR steels are specifically Hardox. Hardox is a specific brand within the AR steel category, known for its quality and performance. Other manufacturers produce their own versions of AR steel with similar properties but under different brand names.
