● 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.
