(OP)
We need a good impact resistant, hard wearing material that can be machined, to run as a 10mm thick pad against carbon steel plate.
Any suggestions?

You could also try Thordon. This urethane elastomer is a bearing material sold by Thomson-Gordon of Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It is used to line sheaves for ski-lifts and create stave bearings for ships propeller shafts among many other applications.
Thordon is used to replace uhmwpe and delrin due to its superior wear resistance and ability to resist "pounding out".
