ABRASION & WEAR RESISTANT STEEL PLATES

long service life in harsh conditions

Abrasion & Wear Resistant Steel Platesis an extremely tough non-magnetic alloy. The steel is characterised by a great capacity for work hardening, high strength, good ductility and excellent resistance to wear. it is unquestionably the best metal for resisting abrasion when this is accompanied by impact loading.

​

Abrasion & Wear Resistant Steel Platesis typically made in the as-rolled condition. These types/grades of steel plate products have been developed specifically for long service life in harsh conditions. AR products are suitable for a variety of applications in areas such as mining/quarrying, conveyors, material handling and construction, and earthmoving. Designers and plant operators choose AR plate steel when striving for long service life of critical components, and reduce the weight of each unit put into service. The benefits of using wear-resistant plate steel in applications involving impact and/or sliding contact with abrasive material are immense.

Steel plate for use in abrasive conditions is not typical because it is not governed by any ASTM code or spec. Many steel plate manufacturers produce their own brand of abrasion resistant steel and these are usually distinguished by a brand name followed by the hardness of the steel which is measured in Brinell units
