Wear-resistant steel plates are high-strength materials engineered to withstand extreme abrasion, impact, and corrosion in harsh environments. They are typically produced via quenching and tempering processes or by applying hardfacing alloys (e.g., chromium, manganese) to enhance durability. These plates exhibit Rockwell hardness (HRC) ranging from 35 to 60, depending on the grade (e.g., NM360, HARDOX 450). Widely used in mining, construction, and heavy machinery, they protect components like excavator buckets, conveyor systems, and crusher liners from wear. Their versatility allows customization for specific applications, balancing cost-effectiveness with long service life. Common manufacturing methods include hot rolling, laser cladding, or composite layering, ensuring adaptability to diverse industrial needs.
