● 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.
NM400 Steel Plate is a high-performance abrasion-resistant steel plate, engineered for extreme wear environments. With a minimum Brinell hardness of 400 HB, it offers superior resistance to scraping, impact, and erosion compared to lower-grade wear plates. Made from alloyed steel, it balances high hardness with adequate toughness, enabling fabrication via cutting, welding, and bending. Widely used in mining machinery, construction equipment, and material handling systems—such as crusher liners, conveyor components, and bucket lips—it prolongs equipment life, reduces maintenance, and enhances operational efficiency in harsh, abrasive conditions.
