Abrasion-resistant steel plate ABREX for dump truck beds and scrap collection vehicle beds and bottom plates.
Abrasion-resistant steel plate ABREX series
Extend the lifespan of the bottom and side plates, which wear out due to the input and transportation of scrap and earth, by using wear-resistant steel plates.
The beds of dump trucks and scrap collection vehicles that transport soil and other materials are subjected to impacts during the loading of soil and metal scraps, as well as abrasion of the bottom and side plates every time they are loaded and unloaded. As wear progresses, repairs or replacements become necessary, which can also affect the vehicle's operation. Therefore, we propose the use of wear-resistant steel plates "ABREX" for the heavily worn bed components. ABREX is a steel plate that offers excellent wear resistance while also considering weldability and bendability. It can be considered for use in the bottom plates, side plates, and tailgates of the beds, and depending on the usage conditions, it may lead to thinning and weight reduction. At Kumagai Special Steel, we offer consultations tailored to the specifications of your vehicle, from cutting plates to bending, hole drilling, and welding fabrication.

basic information
The ABREX series is a high-performance wear-resistant steel plate developed by Nippon Steel, designed to achieve long service life and stable operation of components in harsh environments where wear, abrasion, and impact are repeated. It has a higher surface hardness compared to general structural steel, significantly reducing wear and contributing to lower replacement frequency and maintenance costs. 1. Main Specifications and Characteristics - Steel Type Classification: Wear-resistant steel plate - Representative Grades: ABREX400 / ABREX500 - Hardness: 400HBW class, 500HBW class - Wear Resistance: Approximately 2 to 5 times that of general mild steel - Thickness Range: Wide range of thicknesses to suit various applications 2. Features in Processing and Construction - Designed with consideration for weldability despite high hardness - Capable of gas, plasma, and laser cutting under appropriate conditions - Supports bending and hole processing - Practicality suitable for on-site construction and repairs 3. Performance Highlights - Extended component life due to high wear resistance - Weight reduction and structural rationalization through thickness reduction - Stable quality that can withstand harsh operating environments Due to these characteristics, the ABREX series is highly regarded in fields where wear resistance is crucial, such as construction machinery, crushers, dump bodies, and conveying equipment.

| 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 abrasive environments. Compared to JIS SS400, its wear life is significantly improved, allowing for longer component life and reduced plate thickness. While high-strength 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 is dramatically improved, allowing for significant extension of component lifespan and reduction in plate thickness. While WEL-TEN focuses on structural strength, ABREX500 is an ideal material for areas subjected to strong wear and impact. |
