Wear-resistant steel plate ABREX for tire shredders and shredder blades.
Abrasion-resistant steel plate ABREX series
Not just rubber. Considering the longevity of crushing blades that wear out from contact with tire cords.
In the tire shredding process, not only the rubber but also the internal tire cords (reinforcing wires) are processed. Due to repeated friction and impact on the blade edges, ordinary steel can wear down, leading to challenges in blade replacement and repair. In such a wear environment, we propose Nippon Steel's wear-resistant steel plate "ABREX." Not only the blades but also the liners of the shooters and conveyors face wear issues. It is possible to utilize the wear-resistant steel plate ABREX for these as well. ABREX is a wear-resistant steel plate that combines excellent wear resistance and workability. By using it in areas with severe wear, such as shredding blades and shredder blades, an extension of component life and a reduction in replacement frequency can be expected. At Kumagai Special Steel, we will confirm the drawings and usage conditions and provide support from the selection of steel type and plate thickness to cutting, drilling, machining, and welding.

| Model number | overview |
|---|---|
| ABREX400 wear-resistant steel plate, Nippon Steel brand (wear resistance x weldability and workability) | ABREX400 is a wear-resistant steel plate made by Nippon Steel, featuring a Brinell hardness of approximately 400 HBW, and demonstrates high durability in wear environments. Compared to JIS SS400, its wear life is significantly improved, allowing for longer component lifespan and reduction in plate thickness. While high-tensile steels like WEL-TEN focus on "strength," ABREX400 primarily aims for "wear resistance," showcasing its advantages in wear components and liner applications. |
| ABREX500 Wear-Resistant Steel Plate, Nippon Steel Brand (Super Wear Resistance x Weldability & Workability) | ABREX500 is a high-hardness wear-resistant steel plate made by Nippon Steel, with a Brinell hardness of approximately 500 HBW, demonstrating excellent durability in more severe wear environments. Compared to JIS SS400, its wear life has dramatically improved, allowing for significant extension of component lifespan and reduction in plate thickness. While WEL-TEN emphasizes structural strength, ABREX500 is an ideal material for areas subjected to strong wear and impact. |
