Description of the case
Hardox® 600 in the knives
The old tool steel solution lasted for 5000 ton recycled electronic waste.
The set produced in 62 mm Hardox® 600 was like new at 5 000 ton. It is estimated to last 20 000 ton.
That means that Hardox® 600 will last 4 times the old material considered that the waste is well sorted.
