NM400 steel properties equivalent indian standard

.
    
    NM400 steel is a high performance wear resistant steel with a hardness of 400HBW. It displays an excellent combination of high resistance to impact, workability, weld ability and flexibility. It is abrasion and oxidation resistant. The NM400 steel is a wear resistant grade of steel. This steel is particularly good for wear-resistant applications and for working environments that are subject to increasing levels of wear. It has outstanding mechanical properties and is one of the most widely used wear resistant steels in the world.
    
    In terms of its properties, NM400 steel is equivalent to the Indian Standard IS2062. This grade is commonly used in the industry for various structural applications, such as conveyor systems, buckets, drum bodies and construction equipment. The structural applications require high wear resistance coupled with the ability to withstand impacts and vibration. The NM400 steel offers superior wear resistance and strength.
    
    NM400 steel can be temper rolled (255-420 HBW), quenched and tempered and has been designed specifically to have a high resistance to abrasion. This steel can be welded and also machined. It has a yield strength of 960MPa and a tensile strength of 1350MPa. It also has excellent cold forming characteristics. When welding, it should be preheated to 45-50°C and post-heated to brand temperatures.
    
    The properties of NM400 steel make it ideal for most wear-resistant applications and for working environments that are subject to increasing levels of wear. It is also used in the automotive industry for wear-resistant components, such as body panels and suspension components. This steel is more resistant to wear and increases a part’s lifespan, compared to other grades of steel.
