Abrazo 400 Plates

Product Details

Abrazo 400 plates are abrasion-resistant steel plates designed to provide excellent hardness and toughness, making them suitable for applications where resistance to wear and impact is crucial. Produced by Industeel, Abrazo 400 plates are known for their durability and reliability in harsh operating environments. Here's an overview of the key features, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and typical applications of Abrazo 400 plates: Key Features: High Hardness: Abrazo 400 plates typically have a hardness ranging from 360 to 440 HBW (Brinell Hardness), offering superior resistance to abrasion and wear. Durability: Designed for extended service life under severe wear conditions, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Good Weldability: Despite their high hardness, Abrazo 400 plates exhibit good weldability when proper welding procedures are followed, including preheating and controlled cooling. Flatness and Surface Finish: Manufactured to tight flatness and surface finish tolerances, ensuring quality fabrication and ease of installation. Standards Compliance: Produced in compliance with relevant industry standards to ensure consistent quality and performance. Chemical Composition: The typical chemical composition of Abrazo 400 plates includes: Carbon (C): 0.20-0.30% Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.70% Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.60% Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.030% Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.010% Chromium (Cr): 0.80-1.50% Molybdenum (Mo): ≤ 0.30% Nickel (Ni): ≤ 1.0% Boron (B): ≤ 0.005% Mechanical Properties: Hardness: 360-440 HBW Tensile Strength: 1000-1250 MPa Yield Strength: ≥ 800 MPa Elongation: 10-12% (varies with thickness and specific grade) Impact Toughness: Tested to ensure good performance at low temperatures, often with a Charpy V-notch impact test. Applications: Mining and Quarrying: Used in equipment such as crushers, screens, feeders, and chutes subjected to severe wear and abrasion. Construction Machinery: Components for bulldozers, excavators, loaders, and dump trucks operating in abrasive environments. Material Handling: Chutes, hoppers, conveyor systems, and wear plates handling abrasive materials. Agriculture: Plows, tillage equipment, and other agricultural machinery exposed to abrasive conditions. Recycling Industry: Shredders, balers, and equipment processing recyclable materials with heavy wear. Earthmoving and Excavation: Buckets, blades, and liners enduring constant abrasion. Advantages: Excellent Wear Resistance: Reduces maintenance costs and downtime associated with wear and tear. High Strength: Maintains structural integrity under heavy loads and impacts. Cost Efficiency: Longer service life leads to cost savings despite the higher initial investment. Fabrication Flexibility: Good weldability and machinability allow for various manufacturing processes. Considerations:
