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.
AR500 ABRASION-RESISTANT STEEL PLATE
AR500 is a high abrasion-resistant steel plate designed to withstand extreme abrasion and friction. With hardness around 500 HB (Brinell Hardness), it is ideal for applications that require highly durable materials in severe environments such as mining, construction, and material handling.
- High wear-resistant steel, ideal for applications that require excellent hardness and abrasion resistance.
- Hardness in the 500 HB (Brinell) range.
- Excellent resistance to wear and friction, which extends component service life and reduces operating costs.
- High impact resistance, maintaining structural integrity even under dynamic loading.
- Despite its high hardness, it can be cut, welded, and formed without compromising its mechanical properties.
- Ideal for heavy-duty equipment operating under severe abrasion and wear conditions.
- Extreme wear resistance: Delivers outstanding durability under severe abrasion, significantly reducing maintenance and replacement needs.
- High impact resistance: Although it is a high-hardness steel, it retains excellent impact energy absorption, making it suitable for dynamic load applications.
- Long component service life: Wear and friction resistance extends component life, reducing operating costs and downtime.
- Processing versatility: Can be cut, welded, and formed, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
- Mining: Liners and mining machinery parts subjected to extreme abrasion, such as crushers, shredders, and wear parts in drilling and excavation equipment.
- Construction: Construction machinery components such as buckets, excavator teeth, shovels, and other equipment used for earthmoving and handling heavy materials.
- Material handling: Components for handling abrasive materials, such as conveyors, augers, loader buckets, and bulk material handling systems.
- Agriculture: Agricultural machinery parts exposed to severe abrasion, such as cutting blades, planter teeth, and heavy-duty agricultural tools.
- Energy: Parts and components for power generation equipment, turbines, and other elements that require high wear resistance under extreme operating conditions.
