ABRASION RESISTANT PLATE

Product Data Sheet 2012 04 01 Page |1

AR500F
Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate
General Product Description
AR500F is a through-hardened, abrasion-resistant product with a nominal hardness level of 500 HBW. This product is ideal for applications where a good combination of abrasion resistance, formability, and weldability is desired. AR500F is produced by austenitizing, water quenching, and tempering.

Applications
AR500F abrasion-resistant plate is used in equipment subjected to abrasive wear. Common applications for AR500F abrasion-resistant plate include mining and raw material handling, recycling, and construction equipment where AR500F may be employed in hoppers, chutes, crushers, conveyors, screens, shovels and buckets, cutting edges, truck dump bodies, and other components exposed to abrasive wear
