AR500 Steel Plate — Maximum Wear Resistance for Extreme Abrasion Environments
When equipment operates in high-impact, high-friction, and extreme abrasion conditions, standard structural steel cannot survive long-term use.
AR500 steel plate is engineered as a high-hardness abrasion resistant steel, designed to significantly extend equipment service life and reduce maintenance downtime in mining, construction, and heavy industrial operations.
✔ Ultra-high hardness wear-resistant steel
✔ Designed for extreme abrasion environments
✔ Superior service life vs AR400 / NM400 grades
✔ Widely used in mining, crushing, and heavy equipment protection
As a global AR500 steel plate supplier and exporter, we provide stable stock support, custom cutting, and fast international shipping for industrial procurement projects.

AR500 Chemical Composition
The AR500 steel chemical composition is controlled to achieve ultra-high hardness and wear resistance.
- Carbon (C): 0.20% – 0.35%
- Silicon (Si): 0.20% – 0.70%
- Manganese (Mn): 0.80% – 1.60%
- Chromium (Cr): 0.40% – 1.20%
- Nickel (Ni): ≤ 1.00%
- Molybdenum (Mo): ≤ 0.50%
- Boron (B): trace controlled
This alloy system improves hardenability and surface wear resistance under extreme friction conditions.
AR500 Mechanical Properties
The AR500 steel plate performance is defined primarily by hardness and wear resistance.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Hardness | 470 – 540 HBW |
| Tensile Strength | 1200 – 1600 MPa (typical range) |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 1000 MPa (reference level) |
| Elongation | ≥ 8% – 12% |
| Impact Toughness | Moderate (application dependent) |
AR500 prioritizes maximum abrasion resistance over formability, making it ideal for high-wear components.
AR500 Steel Plate Applications
The AR500 wear resistant steel plate is widely used in severe abrasion environments:
- Mining equipment liners and wear plates
- Crusher liners and impact zones
- Dump truck beds and side liners
- Earthmoving machinery wear parts
- Cement and aggregate processing systems
- Shot blasting machine protection plates
- Heavy-duty industrial wear components
It is especially suitable where maximum hardness is required for long service life.
