The hardness range of our AR500 is 470/540 BHN with a nominal hardness of 500 BHN. Our wear plate products are typically designed for wear and liner applications. We do not recommend AR500 for use in self-supporting structures or lifting devices. This metal can withstand high-impact stresses, even at extremely low temperatures.
