[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1518987, member: 103303"] Should work just fine. The numbers '450' and '500' describe the steel's mechanical properties - in this case resistance to deformation or 'hardness' on the Brinell scale. Keep in mind AR 500 is 10% harder, so keep that in mind when choosing your thickness. I don't have any experience with hardox, but materials data suggests Hardox 450 will have to be a little thicker, or a little farther away to give the same life expectancy as AR 500. [/QUOTE]
