XAR 400 / 450 / 500 (Premium Wear-Resistant Steel by thyssenkrupp Steel Europe) XAR (eXtra Abrasion Resistant) steel plates are engineered by thyssenkrupp, one of Europe’s leading steel producers. These plates are designed to deliver exceptional resistance to abrasive wear, while maintaining high levels of strength and toughness under extreme working conditions. With a robust microstructure achieved through advanced quenching and tempering processes, XAR plates offer consistent hardness across the surface and excellent resistance to impact, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications. Hardness Levels: XAR 400: 360–440 BHN XAR 450: 420–480 BHN XAR 500: 470–530 BHN Key Features: Excellent abrasion and impact resistance – prolonging equipment life in wear-intensive environments Reliable performance under dynamic loads Good weldability and formability with appropriate preheat/post-weld treatment Tough inner core for impact absorption combined with a hard outer surface for friction resistance Common Applications: Mining and excavation equipment (shovels, draglines, loader buckets) Cement industry components (silos, conveyors, hoppers) Crushers and recycling machinery Wear liners and structural parts in material transport systems
