● 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.
NM500 Steel Plate is a top-tier abrasion-resistant steel plate, engineered for the harshest wear environments. With a minimum Brinell hardness of 500 HB, it offers superior resistance to scraping, impact, and erosion, surpassing lower-grade NM plates. Made from high-alloy steel, it balances extreme hardness with adequate toughness, enabling limited but feasible fabrication via cutting and welding. Ideal for heavy-duty applications like mining crusher liners, dredging equipment, and material handling components, it significantly extends equipment lifespan, reduces downtime, and maintains performance under intense abrasive stress, making it a critical choice for high-wear industrial needs.
