Champak Industries is Stockiest, Suppliers of wide range of Abrasion Resistant Plates in Mumbai, India. This AR500 Plates and AR500F Plates (AR) Steel Plate is typically made in the as-rolled condition. These Steel Plates are capable of withstanding harsh conditions ensuring long service life. These are used for construction, process industries and material handling etc. These are available in various specification & thickness as per the requirements of clients. These are easily available at economical price range in the market.
Delivery condition: AR 500 plate is not normally as-rolled: it reaches its hardness by quenching, with or without tempering. As-rolled plate is much softer. “AR500F” is a designation some mills use for a more formable version of the grade.
AR500 Plates is an abrasion resistant steel plate used in high wear applications like mining or material handling. This steel is heat treated to exhibit through-hardening, improved forming and welding capabilities. With a typical BHN (Brinell Harness Number) of 460 – 544, the protection AR500 provides in wear applications is exceptional. Used in the manufacture of mining equipment, the truck-trailer industry and the concrete / aggregate industry, AR500 steel possesses excellent resistance to slide wear, rub wear and heavy wear. It can also withstand high impact stresses, even at extremely low temperatures. With its ability to withstand high impact stress, AR500 has been widely popular for its uses in body armor and ballistic plates.
Impact and armour: “Brinell Harness” means Brinell hardness. Low-temperature toughness depends on the mill and thickness, so specify a Charpy test temperature if you need one. AR 500 wear plate is not certified armour; for protection, use tested ballistic steel such as our Ballistic Steel Plates.
Each producing mill has its own proprietary chemical composition and heat-treating process for AR500. Champak Industries Steel is happy to provide the mill specific specifications:
| THICKNESS | WIDTH | LENGTH | |
|---|---|---|---|
| AR500 | 3/16" – 2" | 48" – 96" | 96" – 480" |
Inch sizes: The sizes on this page are in inches (1″ = 25.4 mm; for example 48″ × 96″ is about 1219 × 2438 mm and 96″ × 288″ about 2438 × 7315 mm). The sentence before the table offers mill-specific specifications; the table itself lists sizes only, so ask for the mill’s datasheet. Metric sizes can be quoted on request.
AR 500 Plates: Purchasing Specification
| Requirement | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Brand and grade | AR 500 Plates; state whether another brand of the 500 HBW class is acceptable. |
| Hardness | 460 – 544 BHN on this page; confirm the guaranteed range for your thickness. |
| Dimensions | Thickness × width × length and the number of plates, or a cutting drawing. This page lists 3/16″ – 2″. Sizes are confirmed at quotation. |
| Toughness | Charpy impact test temperature and minimum energy, where the part sees impact or cold service. |
| Processing | Cut-to-size parts, bending and edge preparation, with drawings and tolerances. |
| Documents | EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate with chemistry and hardness. |
Choosing AR 500 Plates
AR 500 Plates is in the 500 HBW hardness class. Higher hardness generally lasts longer against sliding abrasion but is harder to bend, cut and weld; where parts also take heavy impact, a tougher, lower class can last longer.
| Class | Nominal hardness | Typical use | Forming and welding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400 | About 400 HBW | Dumper bodies, chutes, hoppers, screens | Cold bending and welding with normal care |
| 450 | About 450 HBW | Buckets, liners and heavier wear parts | Larger bending radii; preheat thicker sections |
| 500 (this page) | About 500 HBW | Cutting edges, crusher and severe-abrasion liners | Limited forming; strict cutting and welding procedures |
Other AR classes
Brands of the same class are comparable, not identical; confirm any substitution with the end user. See all brands on Wear Resistant Plates.
Applications for AR 500 Plates
Typical uses include mining equipment, truck-trailer bodies, chutes and material handling. Tell us the abrasive material, impact level and the life of the current part so the right class can be quoted.
Cutting, Fabrication and Welding
Champak Industries describes full and part plate/profile supply and a plasma-cutting service. Thermal cutting softens a narrow edge zone, and thick or hard plate may need preheat before cutting. Weld with low-hydrogen consumables and the mill’s preheat and interpass limits; do not heat the plate above the mill’s tempering limit. See AR Plates for bending and drilling guidance.
Testing, Inspection Documents and Traceability
| Requirement | What to identify in the order |
|---|---|
| Mill test certificate | EN 10204 3.1 showing brand and grade, heat number, chemistry and hardness |
| Impact test | Charpy test temperature and minimum energy, if required |
| Traceability | Heat and plate number transferred to cut pieces |

AR 500 Plates: Frequently Asked Questions
01What is AR 500 Plates?
AR 500 Plates is wear-resistant steel plate in the 500 Brinell hardness class, ordered by hardness class, with the mill named on the certificate. It is used where abrasion shortens the life of ordinary structural steel.
02What hardness does AR 500 Plates have?
This page gives 460 – 544 BHN. Hardness ranges can fall with thickness, so confirm the guaranteed range for your thickness on the mill’s datasheet.
03Who makes this plate?
AR 500 is a hardness-class name used by several mills. The mill supplying your order is named on the mill test certificate.
04Which thicknesses are listed?
This page lists 3/16″ – 2″. Availability for each size is confirmed at quotation.
05Is AR 500 Plates the same as other 500 HBW wear plates?
Wear plates of the same hardness class are comparable, not identical. Chemistry, toughness and processing advice differ by mill, so confirm any substitution with the end user.
06Can AR 500 Plates be bent?
Only with large bending radii and die openings, as 500-class plate has limited formability. Follow the mill’s minimum radius for the thickness.
07Can AR 500 Plates be welded?
Yes, with low-hydrogen consumables and the preheat and interpass temperatures the mill gives for the grade and combined thickness.
08What is AR 500 Plates used for?
Typical uses on this page include mining equipment, truck-trailer bodies, chutes and material handling.
09Which certificate should I request?
An EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate showing the brand and grade, heat number, chemistry and hardness, plus impact results where you specify a test temperature.
