Abrasion-Resistant Plate Grades

Abrasion-resistant plates fall into 3 standard grades by Brinell Hardness: AR400, AR450 and AR500

AR400 (360 to 440 BHN)

AR400 is the most widely used grade for general-purpose wear, balancing hardness, toughness, and weldability. Mining buckets, dump truck liners, and hoppers commonly use it.

AR450 (420 to 500 BHN)

This mid-range grade provides 15 to 20% more abrasion resistance than AR400. Conveyor skirt plates and aggregate handling equipment benefit from AR450.

AR500 (480 to 540 BHN)

Severe abrasion applications require AR500's higher hardness. Preheating to 100 to 200 °C is needed before welding.

Industrial Applications of Wear-Resistant Steel Plates

Wear-resistant plates serve as sacrificial liners across 5 sectors: mining, construction, material handling, OEM fabrication, and process industries.

Mining & Quarrying

AR plates line excavator buckets, haul truck beds, and crusher feed chutes in open-pit and underground mines.

Construction & Earthmoving Equipment

Bulldozer blades, loader edges, and grader mouldboards don't need AR500 hardness; AR400 and AR450 handle soil and gravel.

Material Handling: Chutes, Hoppers & Conveyors

Transfer chutes and conveyor skirt plates use AR liners, lasting 3 to 6 times longer than mild steel.

OEM Fabrication & Custom Wear Parts

OEMs cut AR plates into custom liner segments, wear shoes, and deflector plates.

Cement, Steel & Power Plants

Clinker cooler plates and fan blade protectors use AR500 grade for fine-particle abrasion.

AR400 vs AR500: Which Grade Is Right?

Compare AR400 and AR500 steel plates to select the right grade based on hardness, toughness, weldability, and abrasion resistance.

Parameter AR400 Plate AR500 Plate
Hardness (BHN) 360 – 440 480 – 540
Abrasion Resistance Good Excellent (higher wear life)
Toughness Higher (better impact resistance) Lower than AR400
Weldability Better (easier fabrication) More challenging (requires strict control)
Formability Good Limited
Machinability Easier More difficult due to higher hardness
Typical Yield Strength ~1000 MPa ~1300 MPa
Crack Resistance Better under dynamic loads Lower compared to AR400
Service Life in High Wear Moderate Longer
Best Use Case Structural + wear applications Extreme abrasion environments
Typical Applications Dump bodies, structural liners, buckets Ballistic plates, cutting edges, high-wear liners

Frequently Asked Questions:

What Is a Wear-Resistant Plate? +
A wear-resistant plate is a high-hardness, quenched and tempered steel plate for extreme wear and abrasion. Grades range from AR400 (360 to 440 BHN) to AR600 (550 to 650 BHN).
Is AR400 stronger than AR500? +
AR500 is harder (480 to 540 BHN versus 360 to 440 BHN), giving it greater abrasion resistance. AR400 offers better toughness and weldability for applications needing formability.
What is the difference between a wear plate and a Hardox Plate? +
A wear plate is a generic term for abrasion-resistant steel classified by Brinell hardness. Hardox is a proprietary brand with tighter chemistry guarantees.
What is the difference between Wear Resistance and Abrasion Resistance? +
Wear resistance covers all surface material loss (abrasion, erosion, adhesion, fatigue). Abrasion resistance refers only to scratching and gouging by hard particles.
What sizes are available in Wear-Resistant Plates? +
Thicknesses range from 1 mm to 300 mm, widths from 1,000 to 2,500 mm, and lengths up to 18,000 mm.
What are the common applications of Abrasion-Resistant Plates? +
AR plates serve as liners in mining buckets, dump truck beds, crusher jaws, conveyor chutes, and cement plant fans.
Can Wear-Resistant Plates be welded? +
AR plates can be welded across all grades. Preheating to 100 to 200 degrees Celsius is recommended above AR400, with low-hydrogen electrodes to prevent cracking.
What is the price range for AR Plates? +
AR400 plates range from 55 to 75 rupees per kg; AR500 from 65 to 90 rupees per kg. Branded products carry a 15 to 30% premium.
