Hardfaced Steel Plate

Hardfaced steel plates are widely used in industries where abrasion, impact, and sliding wear occur. These plates feature a hard surface layer applied by welding or alloy overlay, enhancing durability while maintaining a tough steel substrate.

1. Common Types of Hardfaced Steel Plates

a. AR (Abrasion Resistant) Steel Plates

• Description: Quenched and tempered steel with high hardness (typically 400–500 HB).

• Features: Excellent balance of hardness and impact toughness.

• Applications: Crusher jaws, bulldozer blades, excavator edges, wear plates.

b. NM-Series Wear-Resistant Plates

• Description: Alloyed steel with optimized Cr, Mn, and C content.

• Features: High resistance to combined sliding and impact wear.

• Applications: Mining equipment, hoppers, grinding liners, chutes.

c. BW-Series Wear-Resistant Plates

• Description: Specialized steel with uniform hardness throughout the thickness.

• Features: Exceptional sliding wear resistance and dimensional stability.

• Applications: Conveyor liners, heavy-duty chutes, industrial wear surfaces.

d. Composite Hardfaced Plates

• Description: Steel substrate with welded carbide overlay or hardfacing layer.

• Features: Localized ultra-hard surface for high abrasion zones while keeping substrate tough.

• Applications: Crusher liners, slurry pumps, mixer blades, bucket liners.

e. High-Manganese (Hadfield) Steel Plates

• Description: Steel with ~12–14% manganese that work-hardens under impact.

• Features: Becomes harder during use, resistant to high-impact wear.

• Applications: Mining hoppers, crusher jaws, bucket teeth.
