Key Advantages

Excellent abrasion resistance (validated in industry‑standard Erichsen and Taber tests).

High strength and high hardness for rugged service.

Superior bending capacity and workability across typical thickness ranges.

Ideally suited for welding (TIG/MIG) with common filler metals.

Excellent corrosion resistance for long service life.

Durable: extended service life with reduced maintenance and repair costs.

Higher level of design freedom; can be used as a drop‑in solution for existing designs or incorporated in new products.

Applications

  • End‑dump and side‑dump truck bodies
  • Quarry, aggregate and construction haulage
  • Retrofit lightweight bodies to improve payload and efficiency

Representative Technical Data

  • Demonstrated bending behavior at 90° and 180° (internal test references).
  • Designed for welding with common filler metals (TIG/MIG).
  • Property profile balanced for abrasion resistance, strength, bending and corrosion performance.
