Wear-resistant steel plate ABREX for construction machinery attachments
Abrasion-resistant steel plate ABREX series
For the tips and side plates that wear out due to crushing, drilling, and sorting. Also compatible with complex shapes for cutting and drilling.
Attachments for construction machinery such as crushers, buckets, and forks come into direct contact with soil, rocks, concrete, and rebar. The tips, side plates, and bottom plates are subjected to repeated wear and impact, which affects the lifespan of the parts and the frequency of repairs, ultimately influencing productivity. As a wear-resistant material, we recommend considering the wear-resistant steel plate "ABREX." ABREX is a steel plate characterized by wear resistance, high weldability, a wide range of specifications and sizes, and good machinability. In examples from Nippon Steel, it has been used for the cutting edges of crusher attachments. At Kumagai Special Steel, we offer proposals tailored to your applications and drawings, covering gas, plasma, and laser cutting, drilling, surface processing, bending, 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 grade, 500HBW grade - Wear Resistance: Approximately 2 to 5 times that of general mild steel - Thickness Range: Wide range of thicknesses to suit various applications 2. Features of Processing and Construction - Designed with consideration for weldability despite high hardness - Capable of gas, plasma, and laser cutting under appropriate conditions - Supports bending and drilling processes - 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 meets the demands of harsh usage environments Due to these characteristics, the ABREX series has received high praise 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 lifespan and reduction in 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 and 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 significantly longer component lifespan and reduced plate thickness. While WEL-TEN emphasizes structural strength, ABREX500 is an ideal material for areas subjected to strong wear and impact. |
