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.
AR450 ABRASION-RESISTANT STEEL PLATE
AR450 is a high wear-resistant steel plate designed to provide exceptional protection under severe abrasion conditions. This steel is characterized by its hardness and wear resistance, making it ideal for applications where long service life and high reliability are required without compromising the structural integrity of parts.
- Highly wear-resistant steel, ideal for applications that require excellent hardness and abrasion resistance.
- Hardness in the 450 HB (Brinell) range.
- Balanced combination of surface hardness and core strength, providing improved toughness against impacts.
- Well suited for processing by cutting, welding, and forming.
- High resistance to friction, making it an excellent option for handling abrasive materials and heavy-duty equipment.
- Superior wear resistance: AR450 is ideal for environments where parts are subjected to high abrasion, extending component service life.
- High impact resistance: Although it is a hard steel, it maintains good toughness against dynamic loads and impacts, making it suitable for demanding applications.
- Reduced operating costs: Its durability extends replacement and maintenance cycles, helping reduce long-term costs.
- Versatility: Can be readily cut, welded, and formed, making it suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
- Mining: Parts and liners for mining machinery exposed to severe wear, such as crushers, shredders, and drilling/excavation components.
- Construction: Components for construction machinery that require high wear resistance, such as buckets, excavator teeth, shovels, and other parts used for earthmoving and handling heavy materials.
- Material handling: Parts for handling abrasive materials, such as conveyors, augers, loader buckets, and bulk material handling systems.
- Agriculture: Agricultural machinery components exposed to high abrasion, such as cutting blades, planter teeth, and other heavy-duty tools.
- Energy: Parts for the energy industry, such as turbine components and power generation equipment that require high resistance to wear and abrasion.
