Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate (AR Plate)

Engineered for Extreme Wear and Maximum Service Life

In industries where equipment faces constant impact and friction, standard steel doesn't cut it. Our abrasion resistant (AR) steel plates are specifically quenched and tempered to provide superior hardness, ensuring your machinery stays in the field and out of the repair shop.

Why Choose Our AR Steel Plates?

Standard steel wears down, leading to costly downtime. Our AR plates are engineered to extend the life of your equipment by up to 4x compared to mild steel.

• High Brinell Hardness: Ranging from 400 to 600 HBW for maximum protection.
• Impact Toughness: Formulated to withstand heavy shock without cracking.
• Superior Weldability: Balanced chemical composition for easy onsite fabrication.
• Precision Leveling: Flat plates that ensure accurate fitment in liners and chutes.

Technical Specifications

We stock a full range of grades to match your specific application requirements.

Grade	Hardness (HBW)	Typical Applications	Key Benefit
AR400	360–440	Cement mixers, dump truck liners	Excellent formability & wear resistance.
AR450	430–480	Mining equipment, buckets	Optimized balance of toughness and hardness.
AR500	470–540	Graders, crushers, heavy liners	Maximum resistance to sliding abrasion.
AR600	570–640	High-wear chutes, shredders	Extreme hardness for the most severe environments.

Common Industrial Applications

Our wear-resistant steel is the backbone of heavy industry:

• Mining & Quarrying: Crusher liners, conveyor chutes, and screen plates.
• Construction: Excavator buckets, bulldozer blades, and dump bodies.
• Material Handling: Hoppers, feeders, and silos.
• Waste & Recycling: Shredder knives and scrap metal balers.

Value-Added Services

We don’t just ship raw material; we provide ready-to-install solutions to save your team time.

Custom Processing Includes:

• High-Definition Plasma Cutting: Precision shapes tailored to your CAD drawings.
• Drilling & Countersinking: Ready-to-bolt liners for immediate installation.
• Bending & Forming: Large-scale press brake capabilities for curved liners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between AR400 and AR500?

AR400 offers better formability and weldability, making it ideal for structural wear parts. AR500 is significantly harder and better suited for extreme sliding abrasion but is more brittle and difficult to form.

Can AR steel be used for structural load-bearing?

No. Abrasion resistant steel is rated for hardness, not structural yield strength. It should be used as a liner or wear surface rather than a primary load-bearing member.
