Abrasion-resistant steel

Designed to last

YEAR AFTER YEAR

The HS 500 category is for steel with a nominal hardness of 500 BHN, designed for more demanding wear applications. Engineering specifications sometimes refer to steel in this category as AR 500. A balanced combination of chemistry, welding, forming and impact values results in a heavy-duty wear plate that exhibits both hardness and strength. HS 500 is an optimal solution for mining, transportation, forestry and construction applications.
