Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about AR600 steel plate.
Abrasion-resistant steel plate is primarily selected by hardness and wear performance, not by one fixed chemical formula. Because of that, chemistry and hardening processes can vary by mill as long as the plate meets the required hardness range and performance expectations for the grade. Mill test reports or hardness reports are supplied with orders to verify the material’s properties and confirm it meets the specified AR grade.
AR400, AR450, AR500 and AR600 are abrasion-resistant steel plate grades that generally increase in hardness as the grade number rises. AR400 balances wear resistance and formability, AR450 provides more surface hardness than AR400, AR500 is used for more severe wear and impact applications, and AR600 is typically selected for the most excessive wear applications where maximum hardness is the priority. As hardness increases, formability generally decreases. Learn more about abrasion-resistant steel and how AR grades differ.
AR600 steel plate is an abrasion-resistant steel grade designed for excessive wear applications where high surface hardness and long wear life are the priority. It is commonly used in aggregate removal, mining, buckets and other high-wear components. Because AR600 is harder than lower-numbered AR grades, it is much less formable.
The “600” in AR600 generally refers to the plate’s expected Brinell hardness level. AR600 has a higher hardness range than AR400, AR450 and AR500, making it a fit for severe abrasion applications where maximum wear resistance is more important than formability.
AR600 steel plate is less formable because it is produced for extremely high surface hardness and severe wear resistance. To reach that hardness level, AR600 becomes more rigid than lower-hardness AR grades, which limits how much it can be bent or formed without risk of cracking. AR600 is typically selected when maximum wear life is more important than forming flexibility.
