Abrasion Resistant (AR) Plates Philippines

Abrasion-resistant (AR) steel plate is a high-carbon alloy steel plate used in industrial manufacturing, mining, construction, and material handling. It increases toughness and hardness but reduces strength. AR plates are not suitable for structural construction like support beams in bridges or buildings. Common applications include conveyors, buckets, dump liners, construction attachments, and grates.

KEY CHARACTERISTICSOF ABRASION RESISTANT (AR PLATE)

HIGH HARDNESS

AR steel plates are manufactured to be harder than standard steel, which enhances their resistance to abrasion and wear. Hardness levels are often measured using the Brinell hardness scale (HB) or Rockwell hardness scale.

DURABILITY

Due to their hardness, AR plates have a longer service lifecompared to regular steel plates. This makes them ideal for applications where components are subject to heavy wear.

TougHness
While being hard AR steel plates are also designed to maintain a level of toughness to resist cracking and impact damage.

Product Application

MINING EQUIPMENT

For parts that ecounter abrasive materials, like bucket liners and chute lining.

CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY

Such as loaders and crushers tthat handle rough materials

MATERIAL HANDLING

Components like conveyor beltst and hoppers that are subject to high wear.

Product Benefits

INCREASED LONGEVITT

Reduces the frequency of replacements and repairs.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Although AR plates may be more expensive initially, their durability often results in lower overall mainte- nance costs.

EFFICIENCY

Helps maintain the performance and safety of machin- ery by preventing excessive wear.
AR400 A steel plate with a hardness of around 400 HB, suitable for moderate wear applications.
AR500 A harder plate, with a hardness of around 500 HB, used in more severe wear conditions.
AR600 Components like conveyor belts and hoppers that are subject to high wear.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an AR Plate in the Philippines?

An AR Plate is a high-hardness alloy steel material resistant to severe abrasion and friction. In the Philippines, this is the most preferred material for equipment under constant abrasion from rocks, sand, or constant impacts.

What is an AR Plate used for?

An AR Plate is best described as a “protective shield” for your equipment. It is most useful for equipment liners, dump trucks, cement mixers, and conveyors. If you have equipment with constant scraping or sliding action, this AR Plate prevents your equipment from wearing out too quickly.

What is the difference between AR Plate and MS Plate?

The only difference between AR Plate and MS Plate is the level of hardness and flexibility. MS Plates are easy to weld and flex but have a very short lifespan. AR Plates are harder and more resistant to surface abrasion, referred to locally as “kayod,” which would normally cause mild steel to quickly deteriorate.

Will an AR plate rust?

Yes, it will rust. Though it is resistant to scratching and abrasions, it is not stainless steel. Since it contains iron, it will rust in the humidity and rain of the Philippines. The rust will not, however, affect the structural “abrasion resistance” of the plate.

Is an AR plate high carbon steel?

Yes, it has a higher percentage of carbon compared to mild steel and contains other alloying elements such as manganese and chromium. The high percentage of carbon allows the plate to be heat-treated to obtain its characteristic hardness, thereby making it stronger and brittle.
