Here is a small presentation for two different extra high strength steels that are available to the industry,

namely Strenx (Weldox renamed to Strenx in 2015) and Hardox.

Both steels come in different strength grades, but here we specifically compare Strenx 700 to Hardox 400/450/500.
What are the similarties and/or differences as well as practical uses?

Summarized:

Both steel types are considered extra high strength steels with excellent cold-forming and good/excellent weldabilities. The minimum yield strengths are 650/700 MPa,
with typical hardness values 240-310 HB for Strenx and a hardness requirement of 370-540 HB for Hardox.
The materials are suitable for highly loaded structures and for abrasive environments.
All these steels are prone to pitting corrosion, especially in marine environments, and they do not have any requirements with regards to corrosion. They do however have
additions of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen in order to improve the pitting resistance.

Strenx – Focus on weldability and fracture toughness. Has addition of grain refining elements such as Al, Nb, V and Ti in order to improve weldability and fracture
toughness. Comes in a thermomechanically rolled edition with even better fracture toughness, but only for smaller plate thicknesses (2-12 mm). The TMC steels are more
expensive than Q/QT steels. Comparable to DNV GL VL690 QT/TM steel.

Hardox – Focus on abrasive properties, with hardness requirements of 370-540 HB. Less fracture resistant than Strenx (approx. 27 J @ -20 degree C, transversal specimens),
but still offers good weldability.

There exists a pitting corrosion standard ASTM G48, and a standard for checking susceptibility to intergranular corrosion ASTM G262, but these are only applicable to
stainless steels (Cr content > 10.5 %) and duplex steels.
