What is Abrasion and Wear Resistant Steel Plate?

Abrasion resistant steel grades are designed specifically for longer service life in abrasive conditions. The steel is hardened by oil or water quenching, which, along with the chemical composition and grain structure, gives the steel its greater immunity to wear compared to other types of steel.

Abrasion resistant steel plate –also known as wear resistant plate, wear plate, AR plate or 400 Brinell plate – has carbon added to it to improve hardness and strength, along with chromium and manganese to help mitigate the negative effects of physical and chemical wear.

Benefits and Uses of Abrasion Resistant Steel

Abrasion resistant steel is ideal for use in products and applications where abrasion, impact and/or sliding contact with other materials is the main cause of failure. Industries and typical uses of wear resistant metals include:

• Mining and quarrying
• Earthmoving/excavation
• Agriculture
• Process industries
• Construction and demolition
