Fabrication of Abrasion Resistant Steel
Welding :
Abrazo 400 can be welded under normal conditions (if you require advice on welding, machining or forming then please contact any one of our offices) using MMA, MOG and SAW without preheat, up to a combined thickness of 60mm, provided hydrogen controlled electrodes are used. Consumables should be dried in accordance with scale 'D' of BS 5135. Consumables should be chosen on the basis of whether or not the weld metal is exposed to wear conditions.
Welding data: This paragraph gives Abrazo 400 welding guidance; use the Fora datasheet for Fora plate. “MOG” means MAG welding, and BS 5135 has been replaced by EN 1011-2.
Machining :
Machining or drilling is more difficult due to hardness. For 400BHN use high-grade cobalt HSS E drilling tools and for 500BHN hard metal drilling tools are necessary.
Forming :
Abrasion steels can be readily cold formed. Compared with steels of lower yields, three factors should be considered:
1. Higher press forces
2. A greater bend radius is required
3. Spring back.
Flame Cutting :
Material can be cut using conventional flame cutting practices without the need for preheat at ambient temperature. The following cutting parameters are recommended:-
| Plate Thickness (mm) |
Nozzle Size (LPN mm) |
Cutting O2 (Lb.in2) |
Heating O2 (Lb.in2) |
Heating propane (Lb.in2) |
Cutting speed (mm/min) |
CEV max % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12.5 | 10-25 | 45 | 40 | 18 | 450 | 0.40 |
| 15.0 | 10-25 | 50 | 40 | 10 | 490 | 0.40 |
| 25.0 | 25-40 | 60 | 40 | 20 | 400 | 0.52 |
| 40.0 | 40-60 | 70 | 40 | 10 | 310 | 0.52 |
| 50.0 | 40-60 | 75 | 40 | 10 | 300 | 0.57 |
| 65-80 | 60-100 | 71 | 31 | 13 | 239 | 0.57 |
Flame cutting: Pressures are in psi (lb/in²). Thick or very hard plate often needs preheating before cutting to avoid edge cracking, so follow the mill’s guidance for the thickness ordered.
Milling :
Abrasion resistant steel can be machined by milling.
The following recommendations are given for general guidance:-
| Steel Grade | Cutting Speed (mm/min) | Feed (mm/tooth) |
|---|---|---|
| Abrazo 400* | 100 | 0.10-0.15 |
Cutting speed: The milling cutting speed of 100 is in metres per minute (m/min), not mm/min.
- For further information on 450, 500 please contact us for details.
Cold Bending :
Where possible, cold bending should be carried out with the bend axis perpendicular to the rolling direction, this being the less onerous of the two directions. The following table contains guidelines for bending to a 90°angle. In general however, bending radii should be as generous as possible.
| Bending direction (bend axis) | Minimum inside Bending radius |
Minimum die opening |
|---|---|---|
| Perpendicular to rolling direction | 3t | 8.5t |
| Parallel to rolling direction | 4t | 10t |
Choosing Fora 450 Plates
Fora 450 Plates is in the 450 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 (this page) | About 450 HBW | Buckets, liners and heavier wear parts | Larger bending radii; preheat thicker sections |
| 500 | About 500 HBW | Cutting edges, crusher and severe-abrasion liners | Limited forming; strict cutting and welding procedures |
Other Fora classes
Brands of the same class are comparable, not identical; confirm any substitution with the end user. See all brands on Wear Resistant Plates.
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 |
