Product Description
Abrasion Resistant AR steel plates are highcarbon alloy steels designed to withstand wear and tear extending the lifespan of components exposed to abrasive environments
Key Features
High Hardness Achieved through the addition of carbon and alloying elements resulting in a hardened microstructure that resists abrasion
Toughness Despite their hardness AR steels maintain sufficient toughness to absorb impacts without fracturing
Wear Resistance Ideal for applications involving sliding impact or abrasive wear significantly outperforming conventional structural steels
Applications
Mining Equipment Utilized in machinery like crushers and hoppers that handle abrasive materials
Construction Machinery Applied in bulldozer blades excavator buckets and dump truck beds
Material Handling Used in chutes conveyors and hoppers where materials cause constant wear
Manufacturing Process
AR plates undergo a quenching and tempering process
Quenching The steel is heated to a high temperature and then rapidly cooled increasing hardness
Tempering The steel is reheated to a lower temperature and cooled again enhancing toughness
This treatment refines the grain structure balancing hardness and toughness
