● A wear plate is a thick, durable metal sheet designed to resist abrasion, impact, and wear. Typically made from high-carbon steel or alloy steel (e.g., NM400, NM500 grades), it combines hardness with toughness.
● Its surface is engineered for maximum wear resistance, while the base layer ensures structural strength. Used to protect machinery, equipment, or surfaces exposed to friction, impact, or erosion—such as mining tools, industrial conveyors, or construction machinery.
● Available in various thicknesses, wear plates extend the lifespan of components by absorbing damage, reducing maintenance needs in high-wear environments.
NM350 Steel Plate is a reliable abrasion-resistant steel plate, designed for moderate to heavy wear applications. With a minimum Brinell hardness of 350 HB, it offers solid resistance to scraping, impact, and erosion, suitable for less extreme conditions than higher NM grades. Made from alloyed steel, it balances good hardness with decent toughness, allowing easier fabrication via cutting, welding, and bending. Widely used in construction machinery, material handling equipment, and mining components like conveyor systems or bucket edges, it enhances durability, reduces wear-related maintenance, and ensures consistent performance in typical abrasive operational environments.
