⚖️ AR500 vs. AR400 Steel: Comparative Analysis

Feature AR500 Steel AR400 Steel
Brinell Hardness 470 – 540 BHN 360 – 440 BHN
Wear Resistance Superior Moderate
Impact Resistance High Higher due to increased ductility
Formability Lower Higher
Typical Applications Mining equipment, armor plating Dump truck bodies, hoppers

🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide: Selecting AR500 Steel Plate

  1. Identify Application Requirements: Determine the specific wear and impact conditions the steel will face.

  2. Assess Material Thickness: Choose the appropriate thickness based on structural needs.

  3. Evaluate Formability Needs: Consider the complexity of shapes required for your application.

  4. Review Heat Treatment Specifications: Ensure the steel meets necessary hardness and toughness criteria.

  5. Confirm Compliance: Verify that the steel meets ASTM E10 specifications and obtain mill test reports.


⚠️ Common Misconceptions

  • Misconception: AR500 steel is bulletproof.
    Clarification: While AR500 offers high hardness, ballistic protection requires additional testing and certification.

  • Misconception: Higher hardness always equates to better performance.
    Clarification: Increased hardness can reduce formability and increase brittleness; balance is key based on application.
