AR200
Abrasion-Resistant Steel Plate
Applications
Typical applications for AR200 steel plate include cement mixer drums and fins, bulk material
handling chute liners, skirtboard liners, and screw conveyers.
Mechanical Properties
AR200 has a nominal hardness of 200 HBW and is generally produced to a specified chemical
composition only. Applications requiring specific mechanical properties should be inquired.

Testing
Brinell hardness (HBW) is tested according to ASTM A370, on a milled or ground surface 0.020”
to 0.118” (0.5 - 3.0 mm) below the plate surface.
Tolerances
Thickness, width, and length tolerances are in accordance to ASTM A6. ASTM A6 half-standard
flatness tolerance is available for discrete plate greater than or equal to 0.375” (9.5 mm) thick
and for cut-to-length plate.

Cutting
AR200 steel plate can be gas cut satisfactorily. The hardened, heat-affected zones adjacent to
the cut surfaces should be removed before any subsequent forming or welding operation.
Weldability
AR200 is weldable by conventional electric arc welding processes, using low-hydrogen
consumables and appropriate welding practices. The following recommendations should be
considered.

When matching consumables are not required, lower strength electrodes (ER70, E7XT, E7X or
E7018) are recommended. Slow-cooling after welding and a post-weld heat treatment at
1100°F (595°C) are suggested to minimize cold cracking. The electrodes for shielded metal arc
welding must be properly stored and dried; the welding flux must be properly dried for
submerged arc welding.
Formability
AR200 may be employed in moderate cold forming applications. Proper edge preparation (i.e.
removal of hardened heat-affected zones adjacent to the cut surfaces) is essential to minimize
the potential for cracking. Cold forming should be performed at a minimum temperature of 68°F
(20°C). Minimum recommended punch radius, R, and die width opening, W, as a function of
bending orientation is provided in the following table.
