NM600 High-Performance Wear-Resistant Steel Now Available at ZGT Steel
In a significant development for the steel industry, ZGT Steel has announced the arrival of a new batch of NM600 steel, a high-performance wear-resistant material, measuring 30mm x 2200mm x 6000mm. This NM600 steel product, equivalent to HARDOX600, JFE EVERHARD600, and XAR600 AR600, has officially entered our inventory, enhancing our selection of mid-to-high wear-resistant products. The introduction of NM600 steel underscores our commitment to providing top-tier materials that meet the rigorous demands of various applications.
The Challenge of High Hardness Steel Production
As many in the industry are aware, the production of 600-grade wear-resistant steel poses unique challenges. Only a select few internationally renowned manufacturers can mass-produce this category of steel. The high hardness of NM600 necessitates stringent control over its composition, smelting, quenching, tempering, and leveling processes. This complexity often leads to a high rate of scrap production, which means that many steel mills either cannot produce this grade or struggle with low yield rates.
Successfully manufacturing 600-series products is a testament to a steel mill’s production capabilities and international competitiveness. It indicates an advanced level of technology and quality control that sets leaders apart in the global market.
Quality Assurance through Advanced Processing Techniques
To ensure the quality of the NM600 steel plates, we utilized a four-step heat treatment process—an approach that is currently unique in China and leads the industry on a global scale. This meticulous process includes:
- Heating: The steel is heated to specific temperatures to enhance its microstructure.
- Quenching: The steel is rapidly cooled to lock in desirable properties.
- Tempering: The steel undergoes further heating to relieve internal stresses and improve toughness.
- Leveling: Finally, the steel is flattened to meet exact specifications.
After completing production, we employed a dual non-destructive testing method, combining Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Penetrant Testing. This rigorous inspection process ensures that each steel plate meets our high-quality standards, providing our customers with reliable and durable materials.
Innovative Steel Technology Development
At ZGT Steel, we are proud of our collaboration with the Steel Research Institute, Northeastern University, and other partners. Together, we have pioneered a next-generation wear-resistant steel technology based on TiC regulation. This innovative project breaks away from traditional design principles that prioritize hardness alone and introduces significant advancements in both innovation and academic value.
Our systematic research covers essential areas, including:
- Fundamental Research: Understanding the properties and behaviors of the new materials.
- Key Technologies: Developing processes that enhance performance and reduce costs.
- Product Development: Creating practical applications that can be used across various industries.
- Application Technologies: Implementing these innovations in real-world settings to improve equipment longevity.
The project has yielded impressive results, substantially extending the lifespan of manufactured equipment and propelling the industry towards higher-end, greener manufacturing practices.
