A comprehensive introduction to abrasion resistant steel steel plate

When steel rubs against each other for a period of time, wear occurs. There are two types of wear: one is intentional wear and the other is unintentional wear. Intentional wear, such as sanding, grinding, sandblasting, etc., is a wear and tear made deliberately based on needs. However, accidental wear can cause damage and other conditions. Therefore, it is important to use appropriate materials to ensure that the wear on the steel surface will not cause damage to the parts.

As a matter of fact, not all steels have excellent wear resistance. In the market, there are several steels specially made to prevent wear, which is called abrasion resistant steel.

Similar to other types of steel, abrasion resistant steel is made of iron ore, carbon and other alloying elements. Iron ore is melted in a blast furnace to remove undesirable substances that may be present in the ore. During this period, carbon and other alloying elements, such as chromium and manganese, are added. These added alloying elements can make the steel less likely to wear. In addition, alloying elements that prevent oxidation will also be added to the molten pool.

After the above steps are completed, the molten abrasion resistant steel is formed, heat-treated, and cut, and the abrasion resistant steel has the characteristics of wear resistance.
