Suppliers, Traders, Exporters and Stockists of Xar 400 Abrasion Resistant Steel Plates
ARK Stainless is a leading supplier, trader, stockist and exporter of Xar 400 Wear Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plates. We are one of the leading importer & stockist of Xar 400 steel. The Xar 400 is the wear plate series form Nippon Sumitomo Steel Metal Corporation, Japan.
The use of abrasion resistance XAR 400 steel plate markedly reduces the weight of structural members exposed to serve abrasive conditions. Compare with regular steel, XAR steel plate reduces structural weight and delivers economic merits. Adoption of high performance abrasion resistant XAR 400 will prolong the service life of machinery and component.
The utilization of scraped area resistance XAR 400 steel plate especially diminishes the heaviness of auxiliary individuals presented to serve grating conditions. Contrast and customary steel, Xar400 Wear Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plates diminishes auxiliary weight and conveys monetary benefits.
Selection of elite scraped spot safe Xar400 Wear Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plates will draw out the administration life of apparatus and part. We keep up every one of the sizes and thickness of Xar400 Wear Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plates from 03mm ~ 60mm thickness.
Wear resistant steel is used in areas where there is likely to be a high degree of abrasion or wear of the steel plate. Typical applications are in truck beds, attachments to diggers and earth movers and in processing applications in the mining industry. The key quality for wear resistant steels is their hardness. We sell wear plate according to its hardness measured on the Brinnell Hardness Test usually in 400HB and 500HB grades.
Steels with a high HB rating (Brinell Hardness) are intended for applications where wear or abrasion resistance is important. The benefit of using an abrasion resistant steel is that that the plant, machinery or constructions working life can be extended considerably. This can significantly improve the reliability, durability and safety of structures and equipment. It also helps to reduce the maintenance costs associated with wear and breakdown of plant.
XAR 400 steel is over 3 times harder than mild steel (120HB), but only a third as hard as stainless steel (1250HB). Example uses are for construction machinery, skips, bulldozers and excavators, buckets and conveyors. The steel is quenched which provides wear resistance; in order to improve hardness it may also be tempered. Lower HB's generally provide good cold bending properties and good weldability. Weldability is not generally reduced as the hardness increases.
We Export Xar 400 Abrasion Resistant Steel Plates to United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Russia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt, Qatar, Iran, Kuwait, Taiwan, Oman, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Pakistan, Malaysia.

The Processing and application techniques as a whole are of fundamental importance for the successful use of the products fabricated of this steel. The Processor / Fabricator must assure himself that his design and work methods are appropriate for the material are state of the art and are suitable for the envisaged purpose.
Cold forming
The products made of this steel are suitable for cold bending provided, that consideration is given to the high hardness. The formability of steel decreases with increasing hardness. This has to be kept in mind when forming.
The forming must take place at a slow and steady rate, the cut edges must be deburred and the plates heated, if necessary, prior to the forming. A final stress-relieving is not necessary for this steel.
Machinability
In spite of its high wear resistance, the steel exhibits good machinability if sufficiently heavy machine-tools and sharp carbide-tipped tools are used. The feed rate and cutting speed have to be adjusted to the high hardness of the material.
Heat treatment
Plates of the XAR 400 grade receive the required properties as a result of austenitizing and follow-on quenching in special facilities and, where applicable, tempering below Ac1. Direct quenching after hot-rolling is considered equivalent to conventional quenching. The heat treatment depends on the chemical composition and the product thickness. To avoid hardness losses, the steel must not be heated above 250 °C.
Thermal cutting
Preferably the flame-cutting process is used. For small product thicknesses, however, the plasma cutting process is used in the interest of minimum distortion.
Preheating is not normally necessary when flame-cutting thicknesses up to around 30 mm. However, if the workpiece temperature is below + 5 °C, or the cut edges are to be cold-formed in the course of further processing, preheating to about 150 °C should be considered in the interest of cold cracking resistance.
Welding
If due consideration is given to the general rules for welding, this steel is weldable both manually and automatically. To prevent cold cracking in the welded joints only welding consumables giving welds of very low hydrogen content should be used. Preheating is not generally necessary for welding with austenitic filler metals. Preheating may be necessary for welding with ferritic filler metals.
