Available Services:

Drilling & Machining

Wearalloy® 500 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.

Shearing & Punching

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

Forming

Wearalloy® 500 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
