What is the AR500 steel plate equivalent to?

AR500 steel plate is an abrasion-resistant steel known for its hardness and durability, and it is widely used in wear-intensive applications such as mining, ballistic protection, and construction equipment. Its equivalent grades or comparable materials in different standards may vary depending on regional specifications and applications. Here's a comparison:

Common Equivalents to AR500 Steel Plate:

European Standards (EN):

Hardox 500: A similar wear-resistant steel plate with a Brinell hardness of approximately 500 HBW, often used in similar applications.

Dillidur 500: Another high-strength wear-resistant plate, similar in properties to AR500.

Chinese Standards:

NM500: A Chinese-grade abrasion-resistant plate with hardness and wear resistance comparable to AR500.

Japanese Standards (JIS):

JFE-EH500: A high-hardness plate from Japan, offering similar abrasion resistance.

Australian Standards:

Bisalloy 500: A wear-resistant steel plate used in the Australian market, comparable to AR500 in terms of hardness and durability.

American Standards:

AR450 and AR600: These are similar grades in the U.S., with AR450 being slightly less hard and AR600 being more abrasion-resistant than AR500.

Key Properties of AR500:

Hardness: Typically ranges between 470–540 HBW (Brinell Hardness Number).

Tensile Strength: Excellent strength for impact and abrasion resistance.

Applications: heavy equipment, armor plating, conveyors, and construction components.

Considerations for Equivalents:

When selecting a replacement, consider:

Exact hardness and tensile strength requirements.

Application environment (e.g., ballistic protection, mining).

Availability in your region.

Always verify with the manufacturer or supplier that the material matches your specific requirements.
