NIAUX 200: The Disc That’s Changing the Game!
In every corner of the world, from highly mechanized farms to more traditional operations, farmers face the same essential challenges: saving time, reducing costs, and maximizing durability. Whether you’re working in dry plains, rice paddies, sugarcane fields, or mixed cropping systems, one part of your equipment takes the brunt of the work — your discs.
That’s exactly why FORGES DE NIAUX developed the NIAUX 200: a revolutionary disc designed not just for modern, high-speed tractors, but also for any farmer, anywhere, who values reliability, cutting efficiency, and long-term savings.
Niaux 200 : A Legacy of Innovation Accessible to Everyone.
FORGES DE NIAUX has been leading disc innovation for decades. From the NIAUX 140 in the 1960s to the NIAUX 160 in the 1980s, each generation broke new ground in wear resistance. With the NIAUX 200 disc blade, they’ve created a universal solution that meets the needs of both traditional and advanced farming systems:
A different hardness adapted to each area of the disc, made possible with a patented multi-zone heat treatment for precision where it matters.
The numbers 140, 160, and 200 correspond to steel hardness values (in kg/mm²), expressed in Rockwell HRC — a critical indicator of wear resistance.
But hardness alone isn’t enough. Hard discs can become brittle. That’s why many generic discs stay around ~50 HRC to avoid cracking — but they wear out too quickly.
While most discs still use a uniform treatment, limiting both wear life and shock absorption, what sets the NIAUX 200 apart is its patented heat treatment, which strengthens the disc exactly where needed:
- Central zone (48–50 HRC): Flexible and shock-absorbent — ideal for impact with rocks or roots.
- Transition zone (50–55 HRC): A smooth bridge between core flexibility and outer strength.
- Working zone (55–60 HRC): Ultra-hard edge for long-lasting wear resistance and sharpness.
“We use disc ploughs here, not the big machines you see in Europe, but I’ve never seen a disc last that long. With NIAUX 200, I work three times more before changing it.”

Self-Sharpening Profile = Cleaner Work
The edge of the NIAUX 200 is hardened through the entire thickness, not just on the surface. That means:
- Niaux 200 wears evenly
- Niaux 200 stays sharper for longer
- Niaux 200 leaves a cleaner cut with fewer passes
Other discs round off quickly and drag residues. NIAUX 200 stays aggressive, which means less clogging and better tillage, even in heavy crop residue.

Niaux 200: Perfect for Every Kind of Agriculture, Used Worldwide, And Made for Your Fields!
No matter what tool you use — disc plough, harrow, cover crop tool, or seedbed preparation implement — NIAUX 200 adapts.
Whether pulled by a modern high-speed tractor or a compact traditional machine, this disc is built to:
- Resist wear over time, even in dry, sandy, or abrasive soils
- Absorb shocks without cracking
- Maintain sharpness for clean cuts and efficient soil entry
Every disc is tested to withstand 400 bending cycles before shipping — a guarantee of real-life reliability.
From France to India, from Thailand to USA, the NIAUX 200 has proven itself across all farming systems. Its unique durability and universal compatibility make it ideal for:
- Traditional disc plough users
- Mixed or conventional tillage systems
- Modern conservation or minimum tillage practices
Wherever you farm, the NIAUX 200 makes a difference.
