NLMK Group, a global steel company, has supplied Quard 450 wear-resistant steel manufactured by NLMK Clabecq to Feniks Trade and Finance Company that produces special-purpose machinery installed on KAMAZ, MAZ, Ural and Isuzu chassis frames. The unique wear-resistant properties of this steel grade more than triple the durability of individual special-purpose equipment components.

Feniks use Quard 450 steel to make cargo body sides for loading equipment. Side panels wear easily due to coming into frequent contact with the cargo. Quard 450 steel ensures a high level of wear-resistance and impact strength thanks to its optimal mix of hardness and impact viscosity.

Ilya Gusсhin, NLMK Vice President for Sales, said: “Compared to standard grades of steel, the use of wear-resistant Quard steel significantly prolongs the service life of excavators, tipping trucks, bulldozers and other special-purpose vehicles. Our company plans to further develop this product and to introduce new grades of wear-resistant rolled products into production for our Russian and international customers.”
