BHN 400/450/500 Plates Features

• » Progressive Hardness Options: Available in 400, 450, and 500 HBW grades, allowing you to select the exact level of abrasion resistance required for your specific sliding or impact environment.
• » Extended Component Lifespan: Engineered to provide up to 5 times the service life of standard structural steel, significantly reducing replacement frequency and operational downtime.
• » Through-Hardened Integrity: Unlike case-hardened materials, these plates are quenched and tempered to ensure consistent hardness from the surface all the way through to the core.
• » Superior Impact Toughness: Despite their high hardness, these grades maintain excellent energy absorption at sub-zero temperatures, preventing cracking even under heavy shock loading.
• » Highly Weldable Composition: Formulated with a low carbon equivalent (CEV), enabling easy fabrication and repair in the field using standard welding consumables and procedures.
• » Cold Forming Flexibility: Designed with precise grain control to allow for cold bending and folding, making it possible to fabricate complex liners and curved bucket shapes.
• » Clean Surface Finish: Produced with high-quality surface standards to ensure smooth material flow in chutes and hoppers, minimizing sticking and "carry-back" of processed materials.
• » Excellent Machinability: Can be processed using high-speed steel or carbide-tipped tools, allowing for the precise drilling and countersinking of bolt holes for liner attachments.
