Steel of mining buckets

Posted in: , on 17. Feb. 2008 - 10:31

Please let me know the type of steel plates used for manfacturing mining buckets.

We are developing a buckets for VOLVO but we find that the bottom lip plate of the bucket is made of hardox 500. I do not understand if the body plate of the bucket too is hardox or is it high tensile steel?? Please clarify

That's not quite how I read

Rather I read it as making local copies...

That thought had crossed my mind as well...surely.
