What is AR600 Steel?
Tensalloy™ AR600 steel is a high-performance, abrasion-resistant material engineered for the most demanding wear applications. With a hardness range of 580-670 BHN, AR600 boasts exceptional resistance to sliding abrasion thanks to its unique chemistry, including a high carbon content. This makes it an ideal choice for industries such as aggregate, mining, and manufacturing that face significant wear and tear on their equipment. Clifton Steel’s commitment to rigorous quality control ensures consistent performance and reliability in every Tensalloy™ AR600 steel plate.
