Wear-resistant steel

It’s a martensitic steel developed for the needs of heavy industry, such as mining, construction, etc. Thanks to its hardness, it is resistant to abrasion. Wear-resistant steels are used to manufacture, among other things, stone crushers, excavator buckets and blades, dump truck bodies, containers, hoppers, etc.

We mainly offer wear-resistant plates from several steelworks, each selling their products under their own proprietary names. There are several hardnesses: 400 HB, 450 HB, 500 HB, 550 HB, 600 HB, and the two most commonly used are shown in the table below. In addition, we also offer so-called Hadfield steel, designated with the X120Mn12 grade, which is characterised by the fact that it hardens further when exposed to mechanical influences. It is used to produce wear-resistant plates and bars, which are used, for example, in the construction of prison bars.
