440-470 BHN

Wearalloy® 450 is a heat treated thru hardened, quenched, and tempered alloy steels that is used in applications where shock and abrasion are the primary cause of failure and for moderate impact and sliding abrasion applications.

Benefits of Wearalloy® 450 Steel

Wearalloy® 450 plate protects your equipment from corrosion, wear, and impact. The steel is superior for applications that require more durability, minimizing the lost production time because of worn-out parts. Wearalloy® 450 has many other benefits including:

Less Cost
Less weight without sacrificing strength
Extremely durable
High Impact resistance

Requirements of Wearalloy® 450 Steel

Our Wearalloy® 450 steel plates meet all requirements and standards for EN 10029 and EN 10051.

Available Services:

Drilling & Machining

Wearalloy® 450 can be machined or drilled with high speed carbide tools at low speeds. As the hardness level of the plate increases, it is necessary to decrease the cutting speed and feed depth.

Welding

For welding Wearalloy® 450 plate, we recommend that low hydrogen electrodes be used: such as E-70XX, E-80XX , E-90XX , E-10XX , E-11XX. As conditions warrant, pre-heating is recommended on all thicknesses.

Shearing & Punching

Wearalloy® 450 can be sheared or punched in thicknesses up to 1/4". Flame cutting is recommended on thicker plate and on our Wearalloy® 400 and 500.

Forming

Wearalloy® 450 can be cold formed in a press brake or rolls. At sharper bends, forming should be performed with the axis of bend at right angles to the rolling direction or cross grain of the plate. Remove rough edges on plate by grinding prior to forming. It is necessary to allow for a bending radius of 3 to 5 times that of ordinary steel.

Fabrication

Please contact our engineering department for quotes on any fabrications requiring our wear resistant steels.

Common Industries & Applications

Wearalloy® 450 steel plates are used in heavy equipment manufacturing jobs that rely on it to protect the equipment from extensive wear. The steel plates should not be used in load-bearing or structural design to support extensive amounts of weight. Common industries that use Wearalloy® 450 steel are mining, power, aggregation, cement, pulp/paper, sand & gravel, asphalt, scrap, and slag.
