This is a guide about the AR plate, AR plate is abbreviations of abrasion resistant steel plate.
If you have any questions about the AR plate, you can read it.
We will list a series of related questions about AR plate. We hope it will help you.
What is AR plates?
AR plates are designed to provide protection to the occasion or part that needs to be worn. AR plate makes your equipment last longer and reduces the maintenance downtime brought about by repairs. It can significantly reduce your costs.
Name: NM means wear resistance in Chinese languages, and the number followed represents the average Brinell hardness.
Heat treatment methods: high temperature tempering, quenching + tempering
What is AR plate standard?
In China, AR plate is named NM, like NM360, NM400, NM450 and etc.
Followed are the corresponding foreign standards for NM wear plates.
High welding performance wear-resistant steel plate: WNM360L.
How to cut AR plates?
In fact, cutting AR wear plates is same as cutting plain low carbon and low alloy steel. The key is to prevent cracks from appearing on the surface of the material. Since AR plates have a wear-resistant layer, their thickness and hardness must be higher than ordinary plates. Then the chance of cracks appearing when cutting will be higher as well.
When cutting AR wear plates, preheating should be done beforehand, and the preheating temperature is determined by the thickness and quality level of the wear plate. It is also possible to cut at low speed, but this is the method to be used when it is not possible to preheat the whole plate.
The correct use of the slow cooling method is also good for reducing cracks in the cutting of wear-resistant plate. For the newly cut wear-resistant plate with temperature, it should not be stacked, but should be covered with an insulating blanket to gradually reach the cooling requirement.
For the cutting of wear-resistant plate, there is a special measure, that is, immediately after cutting to take heating, that is, low-temperature tempering, can effectively eliminate the cutting residual stress, reduce the production of cracks.
Water jet cutting, applicable to AR wear plate cutting, and the effect is very good. Not only the heat-affected zone of the cutting is small, but also it can prevent the original properties of the workpiece from being affected, and the key is to get a good quality cut without distortion.
How to judge AR plate laser cutting quality?
AR plates’ laser cutting processing quality, generally refers to the cutting dimensions accuracy and the cutting edge quality.
Following four factors:
(1) The incision width and the surface roughness.
(2) The the heat-affected zone, and if have burns.
(3) The incision section corrugation.
(4) The incision cross-section or the lower surface hanging slag.
The main factors affecting the quality of laser cutting can be divided into two categories: one is the processing system performance and the influence of light; the other is the impact of processing material factors and process parameters.

What is annealing process of AR plate?
If you want to produce high strength AR plate, you must apply to the successive annealing technology, that is, the cooling technology.
The most important point of successive annealing is that the speed of cooling in the cooling section should be appropriate and fast.
In fact, the temperature is also a very important element.
In order to prevent the steel coil layer bonding between, hood furnace temperature is limited, can’t be too high, generally not beyond 720 degrees.
What is advantages of AR400 wear plate?
AR400 wear plate has high strength and fracture resistance; high impact strength; excellent wear resistance.
AR400 wear plate through a special heat treatment process, the steel has both high strength and high resistance, and outstanding casting process-ability.
The wear resistance is more than 2 times better than high manganese steel and high chromium steel.
Its tensile strength is up to 1,950 MPA, elongation at break is 17%, section shortening rate is 38%, HRC55.
It has good mechanical processing function and casting function and welding function.
What is wear mechanism of wear-resistant plate?
The well-known wear mechanisms are adhesive wear, corrosion wear, fatigue wear, erosion wear, micro-dynamic wear, impact wear and etc.
How to indicate the wear resistance of wear plates?
Abrasion resistance is the ability of a material surface to resist wear. It is expressed in terms of wear rate, which is equal to the quotient of the difference in mass of the specimen before and after wear under standard test conditions and the surface area of the specimen subjected to wear.
The greater the wear rate, the worse the wear resistance.
What is Mn16 wear plate?
Mn16 refers to the content of element Mn in about 1.6. 16Mn is called low alloy high strength structural steel, 16Mn is the old Chinese standard grade, the current Chinese grade is called Q345. And Mn16 belongs to high manganese steel, is a widely used wear-resistant steel, wear-resistant and impact resistant.
Clad wear-resistant steel vs AR500 wear-resistant steel
Cladding wear plates are more wear resistant because the cladding plate is made of an alloy to improve wear resistance.
AR500 mainly relies on tempering to guarantee wear resistance.
However, the price of clad wear steel is higher.
AR Wear Steel VS HARDOX Wear Plate
Wear-resistant steel plates can be divided into Chinese wear-resistant steel plate and imported Swedish wear-resistant steel plate. These two kinds of wear-resistant steel plates, each have its own performance characteristics. Through the following performance comparison we can understand clearly at a glance, at the same time also have a new understanding of Chinese AR wear plate.
