Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate

Abrasion Resistant (AR) steel plate is 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 to extend the service life of critical components, and reduce the weight of each unit put into service. The benefits of employing 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

Please select a specific grade to find out more information.

AR Medium: AR200 / AR235


These plates are intended for moderate wear applications where it offers improved wear resistance relative to an as-rolled structural carbon steel.

AR400 / 400F


AR400F are premium abrasion resistant steel plates that are heat-treated and exhibit through-hardening, improved forming and welding capabilities.

AR450 / 450F


AR450F is an abrasion resistant plate steel used in a variety of applications where slightly greater strength is desired beyond AR400F.

AR500 / 500F


AR500F steel plates are suitable for mining, forestry and construction applications that require an extreme level of abrasion resistance.

AR600


R600 is utilized in high-wear areas such as aggregate removal, mining, and the manufacture of buckets and wear bodies.
