AR400 Steel AR400 is designed for wear and abrasion applications.Typical hardness of AR400 ranges from 360-444 BHN, which is slightly lower than AR450.Like other wear-resistant steels, it does not have a defined chemical composition, but rather a grade based on hardness. Benefits of AR400 Steel When determining which wear-resistant steel is best for your application, it is important to note that each grade responds differently to many manufacturing processes.AR400 steel plate is ideal for applications that require wear resistance but must be formable and weldable. Because of these properties, it can be used in a variety of different applications. It is particularly suitable for applications where impact or sliding wear may be present. Properties of AR400 Steel In addition to its general properties of formability, AR400 steel has the following mechanical properties while maintaining good wear resistance: Machining = fair Bending = good Corrosion resistance = good Welding = excellent Wear resistance = very good Provides excellent resistance to impact and sliding wear at a moderate cost. Recommended for: Lining of mining and material handling equipment such as dump trucks, material transfer chutes, storage bins, buckets and hoppers
AR500 Steel Plate AR500 steel plate has a high surface hardness for excessive wear and high impact applications. What is AR500 steel plate? AR500 is an Abrasion Resistant (AR) steel plate known for its hardness, toughness and wear resistance. This grade is one of the hardest of the common AR steel plate grades - with Brinell hardness values (BHN) ranging from 460-544 - and is typically used in high wear and impact applications. AR500 steel plate meets the ASTM E10 specification for Brinell hardness testing. Overview: Wear resistant steel plates for high wear applications such as mining equipment and concrete handling. Surface hardness range of 470-540 BHN. Excellent resistance to sliding wear, frictional wear and heavy wear. Withstands high impact stresses even at very low temperatures. Advantages of AR500 steel plate The hardness and toughness of AR500 steel plate makes it extremely resistant to wear and impact. These properties make AR500 steel a durable, long-lasting material, which is essential for applications that require materials that can withstand extreme wear and tear. The durability of AR500 also means that the material needs to be replaced less often than less wear resistant materials, which reduces material costs and prevents devastating equipment failures.
