The Benefits of AR400 Steel


By Jeff Weigang

Abrasion Resistant
AR400 is specially formulated in order to be abrasion resistant. The alloy steel has a high level of carbon and manganese as a way of helping you to become more abrasion resistant. This means that can be easily used in applications where you have abrasive materials hitting the metal on a regular basis. Abrasive materials include cement, coal, grains, ore, gravel, earth, and light aggregate.

By choosing this metal alloy plate when you are in a field where there is a significant amount of abrasion, you get to work with a metal that is not going to wear down quickly over time.

High Level of Hardness
There is a significant amount of hardness associated with this steel, especially because of its introduction of manganese. It is also tempered in such a way that increases the hardness of the steel. As a result, you get a highly durable steel plate that can be used in a variety of different applications.

Impact-Resistant Surface
The metal is highly impact-resistant. It is popular in handling equipment and other situations where there is a lot of things thrown at it. Although it is extremely impact-resistant and durable, you also want to make sure that you don't overwork it as it can chip or harden during special machining processes.

Used as a Common Material in Many Ways AR400 plate has been used in all sorts of different applications. It is commonly used in chutes, linings, hoppers, conveyors, and handling equipment of all sizes. It is a very popular material to use throughout mining industries.

The size of the metal that you actually order will affect how you can use it. The sizes generally vary from 3/16 of an inch all the way up to 4 inches. The thicker sizes are going to be more impact resistant. Additionally, various treatments can be applied to the steel plate so that you can take advantage of additional characteristics, such as corrosion resistance. These are all aspects that you will want to discuss with a supplier once you have chosen one to work with.

There are pros and cons with every steel alloys. Now that you know the benefits, you also need to understand some of the other aspects, such as a low workability as well as how it should not be used for structural applications.

Working with AR400 can be extremely rewarding, especially if you use it for its abrasion resistant properties. Finding the right supplier will make it easier to get the quantity you want at a competitive price.
