SHEFFIELD ) WEAR PLATE 400 BHN
Specify Sheffield brand wear plate when you
require:
Extended service life in highly abrasive applications.
Strong uniform welds and warp-free assemblies.
Excellent resistance to sliding abrasion and impact.
Deep and uniform hardening to eliminate dangerous
hard and soft spots.
A product that will warp less and fracture less in hot
fabrication process. Note: Sheffield Wear Plate 400
BHN is resistant to the softening effects of high
temperature service to approx. 800F. Other wear
plates begin to loose physical properties and begin to
warp at approx. 300F.
A greater balance of deep hardening and ductility, to
resist shock.
Predictable response to variable fabrication processes
that involve both cold working and hot work.
