Wear Plate

Wear Resistance plates are produced from billet castings from electric furnace, rolled on a four high mill and heat treated later. The use of ferrous alloys of pure manganese and careful austenitic treatment provides this steel the special property of hardening under impacts. This High carbon abrasive resistant alloy steel plates generally offer good resistance to sliding and impact abrasion. The high carbon content in the alloy increases the hardness and toughness of the steel, making it an ideal material for applications that require high impact or high abrasion resistance.

Due to their strong wear deterrent and impact absorbing nature, chrome overlays find the widest use in industrial applications. Mild steel plates which has been overlaid by bulk welding, sometimes known as cast welding using an electric arc welding process. The plate is clad with a layer of chromium carbide alloy consisting of very hard carbides in the matrix of iron. It is especially suitable in applications of high stress severe abrasion combined with moderate impact and heat resistance. The plate can be cut, formed, rolled and welded in most shapes.
