Product Description

What is wear-resistant plate 400?

Wear-resistant steel 400 is a type of high-strength wear-resistant steel plate. Through the use of special alloy components and heat treatment processes, it not only maintains a very high hardness, but also possesses high toughness and processability. Especially for components such as the bucket of an excavator, the wear plate of a crusher, and the chute of a conveyor belt, which need to withstand frequent friction and impact, the importance of Wear Resistant Steel Plate 400 in the industrial field will be evident.

NM400 ≈ AR400 be used interchangeably?

NM400 and AR400 can be used interchangeably in most wear-resistant applications.

What circumstances can it be directly replaced?

  • Hardness: 360 – 440 HBW
    Tensile strength: Approaching the original design requirements
  • Yield strength: Not lower than the design requirements
  • Thickness: The same
    Welding: The welding process has been reconfirmed
  • Operating temperature: Normal temperature or general low temperature

What circumstances cannot it be directly substituted?

  • Drawings clearly stipulate: ASTM, SAE or specific manufacturer’s brand.
  • Low-temperature impact requirements: -40℃, -60℃
  • High-stress fatigue components: cranes, bridges, etc.
  • Requires third-party certification or pressure vessel certification.

What other materials correspond to the NM400 international version?

North America (commercial brand)

France, although having similar hardness, thanks to its unique metallurgical design, its wear resistance is usually superior to that of ordinary 400-grade materials.

Finland. Widely used in Europe, its performance is comparable to that of Hardox.

In Germany, German construction machinery is commonly used.

Sweden, internationally recognized as high-end wear-resistant steel with excellent toughness.

Why choose the NM 400 STEEL PLATE from China?

1: Low price

The purchase price of NM400 Steel is usually 20% to 50% lower than that of imported brands.

2: The performance can already meet the requirements of most working conditions.

The NM 400 STEEL PLATE and the international 400-grade wear-resistant steel do not differ in actual lifespan, and the difference is not significant in many working scenarios.

3. Fast domestic delivery speed

The NM400 abrasion resistant steel plate model has a wide range of stock availability, and many specifications can be delivered quickly.

4. Well-developed processing capabilities

Many manufacturing plants have established corresponding process standards and have accumulated rich experience.

From the perspective of overall cost-effectiveness, NM400 abrasion resistant steel Sheet is a highly competitive option for international engineering applications. It can meet the requirements of most wear-resistant conditions in terms of hardness, wear resistance and processing performance, while also having advantages such as low cost, quick supply, and mature processing support.

Some Questions Regarding NM400?

How long can NM400 last?
There is no fixed lifespan. It is 3 to 5 times longer than ordinary Q235 steel plates.

Does NM400 have magnetism?
Yes. It is a low-alloy steel and is ferromagnetic.

Will NM400 rust?
Yes. NM400 is not stainless steel.

Can NM400 be welded?

OK. Use low-hydrogen welding materials and allow the weld to cool slowly after welding.

Can it be bent?

OK. The bending radius should comply with the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Can we drill holes?

OK. CNC machining.

Can it be laser-cut?

OK. Plasma, flame, water jet cutting.

Can the NM400 withstand high temperatures?
Long-term high temperatures will reduce hardness. Recommendation: Use a temperature not exceeding approximately 250℃.

How to determine if the NM400 is qualified?
General inspection: chemical composition, hardness, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerance, ultrasonic testing (UT), material certificate (MTC).

Why do the performances of NM400 from different manufacturers vary?

The steelmaking process, heat treatment, may be different.

Can it be processed to a fixed length?
OK. Support cutting, bending, drilling, beveling, and welding.

Can the NM400 be exported?

OK.

Which types of inspection documents can be provided?

Material Certificate (MTC), Chemical Composition Report, Mechanical Performance Report, Hardness Report, UT Inspection, Third-party Inspection (such as SGS, BV)
