Creusabro^® 8000, the most versatile ultimate version

Stronger under pressure. Smarter against abrasion, the ultimate version

Creusabro^® 8000 isn’t just a high-hardness plate, it’s a technically advanced wear solution engineered to outperform conventional 500HB steels by 50 to 150% in service life.

What makes it different? A finely tuned metallurgical recipe combining chromium, nickel, molybdenum, coupled with a controlled oil-quenching process, gives Creusabro® 8000 its unique edge. The result: a bainite-martensite microstructure enriched with retained austenite and fine micro-carbides, making it resilient to both impact and sliding wear.

Thanks to its TRIP-effect (Transformation Induced by Plasticity), Creusabro® 8000 hardens in service by +70 HB under pressure, adapting where abrasion hits hardest, while remaining ductile at its core.

Ideal for extreme applications like mining buckets, crusher liners, truck bodies, vibratory feeders, and recycling tools, this steel brings higher performance, easier workshop handling, and long-term savings, even at elevated temperatures up to 450°C.

Why choose Creusabro® 8000?

• Up to 150% longer service life than 500HB plates
• Fully through-hardened with precisely controlled cooling.
• TRIP-effect surface hardening + micro-carbides = active protection
• Toughness & ductility: won’t crack under impact
• Workshop-friendly: no residual stress, excellent flatness, smooth cutting and forming
• Performs hot: wear resistance up to 450°C
• Lighter & stronger: thinner plates for same lifetime = weight savings
• XCarb® low carbon footprint available
• Proven field-tested results across mining, cement, recycling, and more
