Metal-Mec“QUARD 500 has proven to be an excellent choice for our harrow discs. Its high hardness and wear resistance allow us to deliver superior quality components for demanding agricultural applications like Romeplow and harrows. The material’s properties enabled a smooth forming process, transforming flat plates into fully shaped discs without issues. In the field, QUARD 500 has demonstrated outstanding durability and performance under the toughest working conditions.”

RAÍZEN
EntrepriseRAÍZEN, the largest producer of sugar and ethanol – from sugar cane – in the world, performed a complete technical test where some QUARD (sample of QUARD 450 – 6mm thickness) presented some very good results:
– QUARD weldability proved very good and simple to be performed
– QUARD hardness is accord to data sheet specification and low carbon and alloying elements confirm its good weldability
– We recommend using QUARD as wear resistant material, always respecting the hardness specified for each application -
