NM400 abrasion resistant plate equivalent

    
    NM 400 is an abrasion resistant steel designed to offer excellent wear resistance and long service life. It is a wear-resistant steel grade manufactured by SSAB, Sweden’s leading steel producer. This material is known for its extreme toughness, strength and high ductility which make it suitable for a wide range of applications such as construction and mining industry, railroad, agriculture and many more.
    
    NM 400 is composed of iron and approximately 1.7% of chromium and 0.7% of molybdenum to provide extreme hardness and high abrasion resistance. It is typically used with 400 Brinell hardness and is available in different thicknesses ranging from 2-160 mm. The steel can be supplied in tempered or quenched condition.
    
    NM 400 has an excellent resistance to abrasion and can withstand high impact loads. It is workable and relatively easy to weld, despite its high hardness level. The steel is also resistant to thermal shocks and chemical corrosion, which makes it ideal for many types of machinery and structures.
    
    The primary benefits of NM 400 relate to its superior wear and corrosion resistance. Due to its high strength and toughness, it is widely used in mining, construction and engineering industries. The steel has superior formability and can be easily shaped into the desired shape. Moreover, its increased impact resistance and fatigue properties make it highly efficient and ensure longer durability in adding service life to the components.
    
    Due to its superior properties, NM 400 is often considered as a superior substitute over other type of abrasion resistant steel. In comparison to other abrasion resistant steel, NM 400 offers a balance of high performance and cost-efficiency. Depending on the application and the requirement, NM 400 provides a wide range of options available and beneficial to many applications and industries.
