AR500 plate is highly impact resistant, boasting 1.25x the tensile strength of AR400. This abrasion-resistant steel grade is ideal for laser cut parts where long-term and intense wear resistance is a top priority. You won’t find better steel for your digging equipment, mining trucks, or shooting targets.
Our AR500 steel is similar to AR400 with an even higher hardness, making it more resilient and suitable for applications where extreme abrasion resistance is required. It is built to withstand the same gradual abrasion over extended periods of time, making it well suited for large machinery that endures constant wear. Like its AR counterparts, it also offers outstanding economical value by requiring little maintenance.
High through-hardness is also present in this material, which means that as the wearing action begins to remove some of the surface layer, the quality of abrasion resistance remains constant. Choose AR500 steel when you are laser cutting parts in high impact applications.
We source this high-demand metal through trustworthy suppliers with verifiable industry credentials so you don’t have to worry about it. You’ll know that our 5052 aluminum sheets are ready to be transformed into your greatest ideas.
