AR500 Wear Plate

AR500 Wear Plate

To be classified as AR500, the hardness needs to clock in between 477 BHN and 550 BHN.
Description
Technical Parameters

AR500 is a high-hardness abrasion-resistant steel primarily used in high-abrasion environments. It is notable for its outstanding resistance to sliding wear, impact resistance, and low-temperature toughness.

 

XAR500 wear-resistant steel plate‌ – a high-hardness abrasion-resistant steel product developed and manufactured by ‌ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG‌ (Germany). Its equivalent Chinese national standard material grade is ‌NM500‌.

 

AR500 Wear Plate Application Fields

- ‌Industrial Sector‌: Mining machinery, conveying equipment, crusher liners, etc. 
- ‌Military Sector‌: Armored vehicles, ballistic plates, and other protective equipment. 
- ‌Automotive Manufacturing‌: High-strength structural components (e.g., B50AR500).

 

AR500 can be used in many industries for many applications, including:

Heavy Equipment & Mining

Material Handling

Aggregate

Dump Trucks

Material Transfer Chutes

Storage Bins

Buckets

Hoppers

 

What is AR500 steel?

AR500 steel plate is chemically similar to AR400 steel plate, except the hardness range is higher and it has more carbon and manganese than AR400. These elemental differences help the steel achieve a higher surface hardness. To be classified as AR500, the hardness needs to clock in between 477 BHN and 550 BHN.

AR500 Wear Resistant Plate Details

 

AR500 steel has high hardness and wear resistance due to the high carbon component and other chemical alloys contained in the steel. However, the formability and strength of AR500 steel is reduced due to the addition of higher carbon content.AR500 wear-resistant steel has a higher hardness, so its machinability is lower than that of mild steel or high HSLA steel.

 

To further improve the requirements for use in high abrasive environments, AR500 wear consuming steel plates need to be hardened and tempered. By heat treating the steel, the organisation of the steel can be changed to improve toughness and reduce bitterness.
