What are AR Plates?

AR Plates is also known as the wear resistant plate. With its combination of high hardness, toughness and durability, Abrasion Resistant steel plates have proved to be the abrasion-resistant steel of choice for increasing the service life of equipment, parts and structures in the harshest environments. AR plates are used for the productions of a variety of products, such as conveyors, rollers & liners and aggregate containers. Wear Resistant Plates are largely demanded by customers owing to their high strength, sturdy performance and rugged construction. Apart from this, these plates show an excellent combination of high impact resistance, good workability, higher weldability and resistance to abrasion. These plates are abrasion resistant and are commonly used in a number of applications requiring higher wear resistance.

Abrasion Resistant Steel Plates do not lose their impact resistance, even at low temperatures, and have very strong welding and machining properties. AR Plates are distinguished by their uniform consistency, high hardness, durability, toughness and high strength. Abrasion Resistant Plates are used in a wide variety of applications like excavator buckets, earthmoving, screens, rollers, rock crushing machines, mining and quarrying, process industries, materials handling and construction, front loaders, dump trucks, wear plate (armour plate) and conveyors.

What are Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate Grades?

Choose the Right AR Plates for Your Needs

AR plates come in various grades, each offering different levels of hardness and wear resistance. As one of the top wear plate manufacturers, we provide AR400, AR450, AR500, and AR550, allowing you to select the best plate based on the severity of abrasion your equipment will face.

AR 400 Plates

AR400 plate is a type of abrasion-resistant steel plate manufactured for maximum wear resistance in tough applications. It is a high-strength steel that exhibits impressive levels of toughness. The hardness of AR400 is generally rated to be in the range of 360-444 BHN and is slightly less hard than AR450. The "AR" in AR steels indicates abrasion resistance and the actual grade (e.g. AR400, AR450, etc.) merely indicates the hardness level of the steel rather than any chemical makeup of the steel.

AR 450 Plates

AR450 and AR450F steel plate is an abrasion resistant plate steel used in a variety of applications where slightly greater strength is desired beyond AR400F. This AR450 Plates and AR450F Plates (AR) Steel Plate is typically made in the as-rolled condition. These Steel Plates are capable of withstanding harsh conditions ensuring long service life. These are used for construction, process industries and material handling etc. These are available in various specification & thickness as per the requirements of clients. These are easily available at economical price range in the market.

AR 500 and 550 Plates

AR 500 and AR 550 steel plates are created for hard conditions that require increased wear resistance. AR 500 is specific for applications that require a plate with good wear resistance, bendability, and weldability, while AR 550 is supposed to provide hardness and wear resistance for the toughest applications. Whether AR 500 or AR 550, the plates are intended to allow for more payload and service life while still providing toughness and processibility.

FAQ

What is an abrasion resistant plate?

Abrasion-resistant (AR) steel plate is a specialized category of high-carbon alloy steel engineered primarily for applications demanding high wear resistance. It is characterized by its exceptional hardness and toughness, while still offering good formability for various manufacturing processes.

What is abrasion resistant material?

Broadly, an abrasion-resistant material is engineered to withstand the rubbing and degrading forces encountered when it comes in contact with other surfaces. Its inherent resilience makes it ideal for challenging working conditions where durability and extended service life are critical.

What is the difference between an AR plate and mild steel?

The difference is mainly in application and properties. Mild steel is a general purpose structural steel ideal for a multitude of general purposes. It exhibits good formability and weldability. AR, or Abrasion-Resistant plates are engineered to withstand far more impact, abrasion, and general wear and tear. While mild steel will work for several structures to be built with, AR plates are specifically for structures that will see severe, abrasive conditions. This enhanced wear resistance in AR plates often comes with considerations for formability and weldability compared to mild steel, due to its increased hardness.

How is AR steel made?

Steel that is resistant to abrasion is made by the processes of quenching and tempering. Quenching cools heated steel rapidly, hardening it, and tempering it reduces brittleness, retaining much of that hardness. The steel that results from these processes is exceptionally resistant to wear.

Is AR steel bulletproof?

While certain grades of AR steel, notably AR500, exhibit significant ballistic-resistant properties and are commonly used for applications like shooting targets and basic protective equipment, it's important to understand that "bulletproof" is a relative term. To stop a greater level of ballistic threat, you will generally need more specialized armor materials. So "ballistic-resistant" is a more accurate term to describe AR steel in those situations.

Is an AR plate machinable?

Yes, AR plate is machinable, though its high hardness necessitates specialized techniques, tooling, and parameters. Several cutting and machining methods are commonly employed: Plasma cutting, Laser cutting, Water-jet cutting, Flame cutting, CNC machining (using robust cutting tools and optimized speeds/feeds) , Each method has its advantages. These methods are selected based on plate grade, thickness, and cutting accuracy needed. Proper technique ensures efficient machining without compromising plate integrity.
