As-rolled steel plates are commonly used in the manufacture of wear-resistant materials. These steel plate products were created to withstand the effects of harsh environments and have extreme strength and durability. The wear plates manufactured for rock processors, crushers, and power drills contain approximately 12 percent manganese and 1.2 percent carbon. In addition to high wear resistance, Wear Resistant Steel 400 plates are very good at welding and have strong work-hardening ability. Heat treatment by quenching or tempering is paired with wear-resistant 400’s chemical composition.
Some features of wear-resistant 400 plates:
When there is a high probability of steel plate abrasion or wear, wear-resistant 400 steel plates are used. Steel with a high carbon content has excellent welding properties. This substance is easily formed. Plates of this steel are hardened to a nominal hardness of 400 HBW. The HB grade (Brinell Hardness) is an important consideration when selecting steel for applications that require effective wear and abrasion resistance.
Wear-resistant steels are hard materials, which is the key quality that differentiates them from other types of steel. It also contributes to lower support costs associated with plant wear and breakdown. It has increased resistance to abrasion and corrosion, making it a great choice for industrial uses. This alloy’s weld-ability does not usually decrease when it is hardened, which makes it easier to work with. Its composition provides it with exceptional wear resistance and a higher intensity resistance, as well as a smoother texture, making it the perfect material for anyone looking for metal that will hold up to many uses.
A few examples of typical applications:
- Goods that are yellow
- Extractive industry
- The agricultural industry
- Mechanics General
- Handling mechanically
- Applications in structural design
- These wear plates are also used in extraction methods, cart pushers, spirals chutes, grinding, screens, and transporters.
- There are many advantages to using wear-resistant 400 plate steel in any application involving impact and/or sliding contact with abrasive material.
Some of those advantages include:
Resistance to abrasive wear: Wear-resistant plate steel offers the greatest possible resistance to abrasive wear under impact and/or sliding abrasion conditions. Increased working life of the equipment: In applications involving abrasive components, using wear-resistant 400 plate steel can significantly increase the life of your equipment. Reduced maintenance costs: Because wearing-resistant plate steel results in longer equipment life, it also results in reduced maintenance costs. These are just a few examples of the advantages you’ll get from using wear-resistant plate steel!
