● 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.
NM450 Steel Plate is a premium abrasion-resistant steel plate, designed for severe wear conditions. With a minimum Brinell hardness of 450 HB, it delivers exceptional resistance to scraping, impact, and erosion, outperforming lower-grade wear plates. Manufactured from alloyed steel, it balances high hardness with sufficient toughness, allowing for fabrication through cutting, welding, and bending. Ideal for heavy-duty applications in mining, construction, and material handling—such as crusher parts, conveyor systems, and excavator buckets—it extends equipment lifespan, minimizes maintenance, and ensures reliable performance in the most abrasive operational environments.
