● 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.
Wear Resistant Steel Plates, often referred to as NM Plates, are high-performance steel products designed to withstand severe abrasion. Available in grades like NM360 to NM600 (indicating increasing Brinell hardness), they offer varying levels of resistance to scraping, impact, and erosion. Made from alloyed steel, they balance hardness with essential toughness, allowing fabrication via cutting, welding, or bending (with more specialized processes for higher grades). Widely used in mining, construction, and material handling—for components like crusher liners, conveyor parts, and buckets—they extend equipment life, reduce maintenance, and ensure durability in harsh, wear-prone environments.
