NM500 Steel Plate : Uses, Composition, Properties
What is steel grade NM500?
What is NM500 steel?
NM500 steel is a high strength wear resistant steel plate designed to provide excellent mechanical properties and superior wear resistance. It is often used in industries that require high impact and wear resistance, such as mining, construction and industrial machinery, and is more cost-effective than bulletproof steel AR500.
what is NM500 steel equivalent to?
NM500 steel is equivalent to other wear-resistant steels such as Hardox 500 produced by SSAB of Sweden, EH500 from Japan, and AR500 from the United States, all of which have similar mechanical properties and are used in similar applications.
What is the hardness of NM500?
The hardness of NM500 steel typically ranges from 470 to 530 HBW.
what are the properties of NM500 material?
High Wear Resistance: NM500 steel offers superior wear resistance, making it ideal for applications that involve heavy abrasion.
High Strength: It has a high tensile strength, contributing to its durability and ability to withstand mechanical stress.
Good Toughness: Despite its hardness, NM500 maintains good toughness, allowing it to absorb impacts without cracking.
Good Weldability and Machinability: NM500 can be welded and machined using appropriate techniques, although preheating and post-weld heat treatment may be required to prevent cracking.

Applications of NM500 Steel Plate
NM500 steel plate has a broad range of applications, primarily in the fields of mining machinery, construction machinery, and port machinery. Its three most common application areas are as follows:
1.Quarry and Construction Machinery:
Examples: Gravel and stone conveying equipment (such as routes, chutes, hoppers), crushing equipment, shovels, excavators, forklifts, trailers, bulldozers, dump trucks, dredgers, crushers, grinders, screens, hoppers, mixers, and concrete aggregate molds.
2.Mining Machinery:
Examples: Fans, dischargers, spiral chutes, crushers, grinders, screens, and conveyors.
3.Cement and Refractory Material Plants:
Examples: Crushers, chutes, and cyclone separators.
In these applications, NM500 wear-resistant plates serve as wear-resistant components. They can withstand harsh working environments and heavy loads, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment. Due to its high cost-performance ratio, NM500 is often used as an alternative to Hardox 450 wear plates.

How Is NM500 Steel Made?
The smelting process is basically the same for the NM400/G3193/AR400and the normal mild steel, but more requirement for the purtity of steel for NM400 steel. During the smelting process, the carbon element is added to the expected value and making the carbon element distriuted evenly by technical method.
What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using NM500 Gauge Steel?
What Are the Disadvantages of Using NM500 Steel Plate?
-
Poor Weldability:
Although NM400 wear-resistant steel plate has good weldability, certain specific types of chromium stainless steel have poor weldability and may require special attention. -
Cutting Issues:
While NM400 can be cut, the cutting process may result in issues such as beveling, noise, soot, and ultraviolet radiation.
What Are the Advantages of Using NM500 Steel Plate?
- High Wear Resistance:
NM400 steel’s wear resistance is 15-20 times that of ordinary steel and 5-10 times that of low alloy steel plates. - Excellent Heat and Impact Resistance:
NM400 maintains stability at high temperatures, allowing usage up to 500°C, with customized options for up to 1200°C. Its dual-layer metal structure with a metallurgical bond layer ensures the wear-resistant layer remains intact under impact, making it suitable for conditions involving vibration and strong operational demands. - Good Processing and Connectivity:
The Q235 steel substrate ensures toughness and plasticity, allowing for various connection methods like welding and bolting. NM400 can be customized in thickness and processed to different specifications, supporting machining, cold bending, welding, and bending, making it user-friendly and efficient for maintenance.
