Wear Resistant Steel

Wear-resistant steel is selected to extend service life where sliding or impact abrasion damages conventional plate. Hardness alone does not define suitability; toughness, forming, welding and operating conditions also matter.

What to specify

Include the details below so the material can be checked against the intended application and current availability.

• Grade or approved product designation
• Nominal hardness range
• Plate thickness and dimensions
• Impact, temperature and wear conditions
• Cutting, forming, welding, quantity and certification

Applications and selection

Applications can include mining, earthmoving, materials handling, recycling and agricultural equipment. Component design and fabrication procedures should follow current manufacturer guidance.

Requesting a quote

Share the component drawing, wear mechanism and current material where possible. Request the applicable data sheet and welding or forming guidance before fabrication.
