Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate
Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate is a special type of steel plate designed for use under severe wear conditions. It combines excellent hardness, toughness, and durability, making it ideal for applications where surfaces are exposed to continuous friction or heavy impact.
This type of steel plate is engineered to withstand large-area wear while maintaining good structural strength. It is widely used in mining, cement, construction machinery, and power generation equipment, where both wear resistance and strength are essential.
What Is Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate?
Abrasion resistant steel plate is typically produced by overlaying a high-hardness alloy wear-resistant layer onto a tough, ductile low-carbon or low-alloy steel base through welding or metallurgical bonding. This combination ensures both superior wear resistance and excellent mechanical performance.
The alloy wear layer generally accounts for one-third to one-half of the total thickness. During production, high-hardness self-shielded alloy wire is evenly welded onto the base plate using automatic welding equipment. Due to the different alloy shrinkage rates, fine transverse cracks often appear — a normal and distinctive feature that does not affect plate performance.
The wear-resistant layer mainly consists of chromium alloy, enhanced with manganese, molybdenum, niobium, nickel, and boron, forming a dense carbide structure vertically distributed to the surface. The carbides have a microhardness of HV1700–2000, and the surface hardness reaches HRC58–62. These carbides remain stable under high temperatures, allowing the plate to operate reliably up to 500°C.
Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate Types
Abrasion resistant steel plates are available in three main types:
- General type – for standard wear environments
- Impact-resistant type – for heavy-duty impact conditions
- Heat-resistant type – for high-temperature wear applications
The plate thickness ranges from 5.5 mm (2.5 + 3) to 30 mm (15 + 15), and it can be fabricated into wear-resistant pipes, elbows, reducers, and tees with a minimum rolling diameter of DN200.
Applications of Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate
Abrasion resistant steel plate offers exceptional wear resistance, impact strength, and fabrication flexibility. It can be cut, bent, or welded, and connected to other structures via welding or bolts, making it ideal for field maintenance and replacement.
It is widely used in:
- Mining and quarrying equipment (buckets, liners, and hoppers)
- Coal and cement industries (chutes, mill liners, conveyors)
- Power and metallurgical plants (fan blades, ducts, crushers)
- Construction and material handling machinery
Compared with traditional materials, Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate provides a much higher cost-performance ratio, making it a preferred choice in many industrial sectors.
