Properties The high-carbon composition and additional chemical alloys included in AR500 steel give the material enhanced hardness and wear resistance. However, the addition of high amounts of carbon also reduces the formability and strength of AR500 as compared to other steel plate grades. The hardness of AR500 also means the material is more rigid and, therefore, less machinable compared to mild carbon and HSLA steel grades. To further enhance the properties that are desirable in high-wear applications, AR500 is heat-treated through a process known as quenching and tempering. This heat treatment process changes the grain structure of the steel material to increase toughness and reduce bitterness. Industries & Applications AR500 is used in applications where the ability to withstand wear and impact without breaking is important. Typically, this includes material handling applications, such as use in concrete handling equipment, and industrial manufacturing. AR500 is also used in other industries and applications where the ability for a material to endure high levels of abrasion is important, including mining and construction equipment. Some common applications of AR500 plate include: Truck beds Buckets Chutes Hoppers Bulldozers Excavators Underground miners Truck plows Dump liners
