Wear Plate Material

Wear Plate Material

Wear Plate Material

(OP)
Hello and thank you for taking time to read the thread...I am looking for steel plate that is already fully hard/ground to 1/4" thick. like Hardox 600 or equiv., which is not available.  I tried different resources but no luck.

THanks

HARDOX 600 is the worlds hardest wear plate with a hardness of 600 Brinell. It is indented specially for extreme wear conditions and competes with wear materials like high chromium white alloy castings, Ni-hards and hardfacing. In spite of its extremely high hardness, the steel is weldable and can be machined as well as thermally cut. For its hardness, the steel also has uniquely high impact strength

RE: Wear Plate Material

Have you considered an overlaid plate such as Triten 200X.  The overlay can reach the hardness level you mention, and, this product has a mild steel backer which enhances fabrication.   We've used it on several projects with good results.

ALL,
THankf for your response I will look into the items..If I can get in the Low Rc60's, it might work...

RE: Wear Plate Material

thanks for the plug,  unclesyd !!
namsco,  wear plate performance is significantly affected by degree of impact versus abrasion,  size and type of material,  any chemical complications etc.  If primarily abrasion,  the chrome carbide overlay is worth looking at.
