AR500 Wear Resistant Plate

Through-hardened abrasion resistant steel plate with a nominal hardness of 500 HBW for severe wear environments.

AR500: Superior Wear Resistance

AR500 is a quenched and tempered alloy steel plate designed for high abrasion resistance. With a typical hardness of 500 Brinell, it offers significantly longer service life in sliding wear applications compared to standard structural steels.

Key Features & Properties

  • Hardness: 470-530 HBW (Nominal 500 HBW).
  • Wear Life: Extends service life in abrasive environments.
  • Toughness: Good impact toughness for a wear plate.
  • Ballistic: Often used for ballistic protection and targets.

Typical Applications

  • Mining chutes and liners
  • Concrete mixers and aggregate handling
  • Truck bed liners and buckets
  • Armored vehicles and shooting targets

Technical Specifications

AR500 is a standard grade for severe sliding wear. It is weldable and formable, though it requires higher forces and specific procedures compared to mild steel.
