Abrasion resistant steel plate is engineered to withstand high levels of wear in applications involving frequent contact with abrasive materials. Its hardness and toughness make it ideal for loader buckets, crushers, and dump truck beds. This resilience helps maintain structural integrity under heavy loads.

 Common grades include AR200, AR400, and AR500, each offering varying degrees of hardness. Thicker plates provide increased protection but add weight to the equipment. Operators must balance the need for durability with fuel efficiency and handling considerations.

 Machining or welding abrasion resistant steel plate requires specialized techniques to preserve its hardened properties. Following manufacturer guidelines is essential to avoid weakening the plate. When properly applied, abrasion resistant steel can significantly extend the lifespan of critical machinery components.
