What Is Wear Plate ?

Wear plate also called abrasion resistant steel plate, AR steel plate, is a high-carbon alloy steel plate which is specifically designed for abrasion and wear resistant applications, such as underground mines, cement industry, road construction, mining and open-pit mining and metallurgical industries and manufacturing other wear-resistant parts. So now, wear steel is developed to have longer service life than mild steels.

Wear plate has a lower hardness of 360 – 444 BHN. As with other abrasion resistant steels, it does not have a defined chemistry, but rather, the grade of AR steel plate is determined by hardness.

Benefits of AR400 Steel Plate

When zeroing in on what abrasion resistant steel is best for your applications, it’s important to note that each grade reacts differently to many fabricating processes. AR steel plate like wear plate 450 and wear plate 500, is excellent for applications in which abrasion resistance, formability, weldability is a must. Abrasion resistant steel plate has great advantages in the following aspects:

Three times the strength as mild steel
Low cost
Reduces maintenance costs
Wear-resistant for temperatures under 250°C
Through-hardness
