AR600 Steel Plate is a premium abrasion resistant steel plate with a minimum Brinell hardness of 600 HBW, specifically designed for moderate to extremely heavy wear conditions.
Due to its ultra-high hardness and strength, Abrasion Resistant AR600 Steel Plate is not intended for cold forming, but it delivers outstanding service life in applications where wear resistance is the primary concern.
AR600 Wear Plate offers an optimal balance of hardness, abrasion resistance, weldability, and structural stability, making it an ideal solution for demanding industries such as mining, construction, material handling, and earthmoving equipment.
Key Features of AR600 Steel Plate
Minimum Brinell hardness of 600 HBW
- Exceptional resistance to sliding and impact abrasion
- Extended service life in high-wear environments
- Suitable for welding with controlled procedures
- Excellent performance under heavy mechanical stress
- Consistent hardness across the plate surface
- Reduced downtime and maintenance costs
Due to its high hardness level, AR600 steel plate has limited formability and bending is generally not recommended unless approved by the manufacturer.

Applications of AR600 Wear Resistant Steel Plate
Thanks to its ultra-high hardness, AR600 Steel Plate is widely used in extreme wear applications, including:
Dump truck bodies and liners
Mining equipment and wear liners
Bucket components and cutting edges
Construction and earthmoving machinery
Material handling systems
Chutes, hoppers, and transfer points
Crusher liners and screen plates
These applications benefit from longer service life and reduced replacement frequency.

What is AR600 steel plate?
AR600 steel plate is an ultra-high hardness abrasion resistant steel with a typical Brinell hardness of around 570–640 HBW. It is designed to provide exceptional wear resistance in extremely harsh working conditions where standard AR400 or AR500 plates are no longer sufficient.
What are the main applications of AR600 steel plate?
AR600 steel plate is widely used in severe abrasion environments such as mining liners, rock crushers, chutes, hoppers, dump truck bodies, quarry equipment, and heavy-duty material handling systems where impact and sliding wear are extremely high.
How does AR600 compare to AR500 steel plate?
Compared with AR500, AR600 offers significantly higher hardness and longer service life under severe wear conditions. However, AR600 has lower formability and weldability, making it more suitable for flat or minimally fabricated components rather than complex formed structures.
Can AR600 steel plate be cut or machined?
AR600 steel plate can be cut using plasma, laser, or water jet cutting methods. Conventional machining is difficult due to its extreme hardness, so carbide or ceramic tools are recommended, and water jet cutting is often preferred to avoid heat-affected zones.
What is the typical hardness of AR600 steel plate?
The typical hardness range of AR600 steel plate is 570–640 HBW, depending on plate thickness and production process. This high hardness is the key factor behind its outstanding abrasion resistance.
Is AR600 steel plate suitable for cold forming or bending?
Cold forming of AR600 steel plate is generally not recommended. Due to its ultra-high hardness and low ductility, bending can lead to cracking. If forming is required, alternative grades with lower hardness should be considered.
