AstraWear 400F is a water tempered martensitic steel, with typical hardness of 400 BHN (42.5 HRC), which offers real response to wear from abrasion. Its resistance, high hardness, and high yield strength, make AstraWear 400F suitable for use in applications that require resistance to wear from scraping or moderate impact. AstraWear 400F offers a real benefit for the service life of equipment and allows for significant reduction of design thickness because its resistance to wear makes it up to 3 times more durable than A572-50 (S355) grade. AstraWear 400F welds easily and has excellent forming properties, which combine to facilitate processing. This steel is especially suited for applications in quarries, construction, mines, cement plants, and the iron and steel industry, among others.Information provided by Astralloy, a Nucor Company. |
