There is no equivalent of Creusabro® 8000 in Hardox. Creusabro® 8000 got the advantage of special metalurgical structure (chromium and molybdenum microcarbides) and efficient work hardening capability in service, coming from a metallurgic effect called TRIP effect (TRansformation Induced by Plasticity).
Creusabro® 8000 contains retained austenite, which is transformed into very hard fresh martensite under the action of local plastic deformations. TRIP effect also participates in the delay of chip removal from the steel on exposure to abrasive particles.
