TongHui provides you with 1/2-inch (12.7mm) AR500 wear-resistant steel plate, which is manufactured via quenched and tempered heat treatment and features a Brinell hardness of 470–550 HB. Boasting excellent wear resistance, impact resistance and low-temperature toughness, it is compatible with standard processing methods such as plasma and laser cutting, and ideal for harsh operating conditions including engineering machinery, mining equipment components and protective target plates. It delivers stable and durable performance, and inquiries are welcome!
With a stable Brinell hardness of 470–550 HB and strengthened by quenched and tempered heat treatment, its wear resistance is 3–5 times that of ordinary carbon steel. It can resist continuous abrasion from gravel and metal debris, effectively extending the service life of equipment.
It combines superior impact resistance and low-temperature toughness, with no risk of brittle fracture even under the low-temperature working condition of -40℃. It is capable of withstanding severe stress scenarios such as heavy object collision and material impact.
It supports conventional processing techniques including plasma cutting, laser cutting, bending and welding. Its mechanical properties do not show obvious attenuation after processing, making it suitable for the production of various customized parts.
It can be fabricated into wear-prone components such as loader bucket liners, excavator bucket teeth and bulldozer track shoes. It withstands high-frequency friction and impact from gravel and dregs, greatly reducing equipment maintenance frequency and costs.
It is suitable for parts like crusher liners, conveyor scraper blades and mining truck bed plates. Under the harsh working conditions of ore mining and transportation, it demonstrates a wear life far superior to that of ordinary steel plates.
It serves as shooting training target plates and equipment protective armor. With its high hardness, it resists projectile impact, while its good toughness prevents brittle fracture and deformation after being impacted.
Q：What is 1/2 inch AR500 steel rated for?
A：1/2-inch AR500 steel is rated for exceptional wear resistance and impact toughness, with a Brinell hardness range of 470–550 HB, achieved through quenched and tempered heat treatment. Its wear resistance is 3–5 times that of regular carbon steel, making it ideal for withstanding high-frequency abrasion from gravel, ore, and metal debris. It is also rated to resist brittle fracture at temperatures as low as -40℃, suitable for harsh outdoor and industrial environments.
Q：What will 1/2 AR500 stop?
A：1/2-inch AR500 steel is highly effective at stopping a range of projectiles and abrasive materials in both industrial and ballistic applications. Ballistically, it can reliably stop common handgun rounds like 9mm, .45 ACP, and .38 Special at typical engagement distances, as well as rifle rounds such as .223 Remington with minimal deformation. It also withstands shotgun slugs and birdshot without penetration.
