Wear-Resistant Plates – Engineered for Extreme Durability in Abrasive Environments Wear-Resistant Plates, also known as abrasion-resistant (AR) plates, are specially designed steels that provide exceptional durability and strength in applications involving severe wear and tear. These plates are manufactured to resist surface abrasion, impact, and mechanical damage over prolonged use. Typically available in hardness grades like AR400, AR450, AR500, and AR600, these plates deliver long-lasting performance in harsh conditions like mining, earthmoving, material handling, and heavy industrial processing. Key Features: High surface hardness (typically 360–600 BHN) for enhanced wear protection Excellent resistance to abrasion, gouging, and sliding friction Good formability and weldability (in appropriate grades) Prolongs equipment life and reduces maintenance downtime Available in various grades for different impact and wear demands Typical Mechanical Properties: Grade Hardness (BHN) Yield Strength Tensile Strength Elongation AR400 360–440 ~1000 MPa ~1250 MPa ~12–15% AR450 420–480 ~1100 MPa ~1400 MPa ~10–12% AR500 470–540 ~1250 MPa ~1600 MPa ~8–10% Note: Values may vary slightly by manufacturer. Common Applications: Mining equipment: dump truck liners, screens, and crushers Construction: bucket liners, blades, and wear bars Material handling: chutes, conveyors, and transfer points Cement, steel, and power industries: hoppers and scrapers Recycling and demolition tools Summary: Wear-Resistant Plates are essential for industries exposed to abrasion, impact, and surface erosion. Their high hardness and mechanical strength make them the go-to material for durability, safety, and operational efficiency in demanding industrial applications.
