Main Factors Affecting the Price of Composite Wear-Resistant Plates

The price of composite wear-resistant plates is mainly affected by materials used, production process, and product specifications. These factors can cause large differences in cost.

1. Material and Composition

● Ordinary Materials

• When carbon steel is used as the base material and the wear-resistant layer contains low to moderate alloy content, the price is usually lower.

• Estimated price: ¥3,500–¥5,500 per ton.

• These plates are commonly used in general industrial applications.

● High-Alloy Materials

• When high-chromium alloys or chromium carbide are used, the alloy content is higher.

• Estimated price: ¥8,000–¥12,000 per ton, or more.

• These plates are highly resistant to wear and impact.

• They are often used in mines, heavy machinery, and harsh environments.

2. Production Process

● Overlay Welding

• In this process, wear-resistant alloy is welded onto the steel plate.

• It requires skilled labor, advanced equipment, and more energy.

• Estimated price: ¥6,000–¥10,000 per ton.

● Hot Rolling

• In this method, two metals are combined under heat and pressure.

• It has high efficiency and lower ongoing costs, though initial investment is high.

• Estimated price: ¥4,000–¥7,000 per ton.

3. Specifications and Sizes

● Thickness

• Thicker plates require more materials and complex processing.

• Plates below 6mm are more affordable.

• Plates above 20mm can be significantly more expensive.

● Area and Size

• Larger plates require advanced equipment and increase transportation and installation costs.

• Customized sizes are more expensive due to extra processing.
