Click for Chemical Analysis and Physical Properties

Wearalloy Nickel Chrome Plate has a rich chemistry. It is a heat treated, quenched and tempered alloy steel plate. The steel is fully killed, vacuum de-gassed, fine grained and desulfurized. The addition of nickel and chrome provides improved toughness, increased hardenability and better corrosion resistance for shock and abrasion applications.

Welding:
For welding Wearalloy Nickel Chrome Plate, we recommend that low hydrogen electrodes be used: such as E-70XX E-80XX, E-90XX, E-100XX and E-110XX. Preheating is recommended on plates thicker than 1-1/2".

Drilling and Machining:
Wearalloy Nickel Chrome Plate is a free machining plate with standard carbide indexable drills and end mills. As the hardness level of the plate increases, it is necessary to decrease the cutting speed and feed depth.

Forming:
Wearalloy Nickel Chrome can be formed with or perpendicular to the cross grain of the plate. At sharper bends, it is recommended that forming should be performed with the axis of bend at right angles to the rolling direction or cross grain of the plate.
