Abrasion-Resistant Steel
BMG supplies abrasion-resistant steel in large and small quantities to companies and plants looking to extend component life and reduce equipment weight.
AR400 ABRASION-RESISTANT STEEL PLATE
AR400 is a high wear-resistant steel plate designed to provide exceptional durability under severe abrasion conditions. With its high hardness, it is ideal for applications that require extreme wear resistance without compromising toughness.
- High wear-resistant steel, treated to provide increased hardness.
- Hardness in the 400 HB (Brinell) range.
- Exceptional resistance to abrasion and friction wear.
- Provides a good balance between surface hardness and core strength.
- Suitable for cutting, welding, and forming across a range of industrial applications.
- Its high hardness makes it ideal for environments that require maximum wear protection.
- Excellent wear resistance: Provides superior protection against abrasion and friction, increasing the service life of parts and equipment.
- Improved impact resistance: Although it has high hardness, it maintains good impact resistance compared to other high-hardness steels.
- Reduced operating costs: Its durability extends maintenance and replacement cycles.
- Industrial versatility: Can be processed by cutting, welding, and forming, making it ideal for a wide range of industries.
- Mining: Liners and parts for mining machinery such as crushers, shredders, and wear parts in drilling and excavation equipment.
- Construction: Wear-exposed components for construction machinery such as buckets, excavator teeth, shovels, and heavy material handling parts.
- Material handling: Components for material handling equipment such as conveyors, augers, loader buckets, and bulk handling systems.
- Agriculture: Agricultural machinery parts exposed to high abrasion, such as cutting blades, planter teeth, and other wear-exposed tools.
- Energy: Components for the energy industry such as turbine components, power generation equipment, and machine parts that require high wear resistance.
