Abrasion Resistant Plates (AR400F)
AR400F is a premium abrasion-resistant steel plate with a nominal Brinell hardness of 400. AR400F exhibits an excellent combination of hardness, abrasion resistance, formability, weldability, toughness, and flatness. AR400 is produced for through-thickness hardness (not just surface hardness) while maintaining minimum carbon, alloy, and carbon equivalents to improve weldability.
This makes AR400F highly suitable for applications in industries such as mining, construction, and material handling, where durability and performance are critical. The steel’s unique properties allow it to withstand severe wear and tear, prolonging the lifespan of machinery and reducing downtime. Additionally, its excellent formability and weldability make it versatile for various fabrication processes, allowing manufacturers to create complex structures and components without compromising structural integrity. Overall, AR400F is an ideal choice for those seeking a balance between strength and malleability in demanding environments.
AR400F abrasion resistant steel plates are used in the original fabrication and repair of heavy equipment subject to severe wear and tear such as:
- Truck bed liners
- Bark and Rock chutes
- Excavating buckets and Hoppers
- Crushers
- Conveyors
