XAR® (eXtra Abrasion Resistant) steels from thyssenkrupp Steel Europe are the solution for applications where wear is a key factor.
XAR® is available in various grades from 300 HBW to 600 HBW and plate thicknesses from 4,00 mm to 100 mm, tailored to particular applications, e.g. mining equipment, earthmoving machinery, steel mill and cement plant equipment, agricultural machinery, etc.
New: XAR® 400 and XAR® 450 plates can also be supplied as cut-to-length plates in thicknesses from 4,00 up to 8,00 mm. Due to their very close thickness tolerances of ±0.008’’ (±0,2 mm) they offer weight reduction benefits as well as advantages in terms of cold forming.
Properties of XAR®
- Higher wear resistance
- Good cutting and welding characteristics
- Better formability
- Lower costs
Wear-resistant steel
Thanks to their extreme hardness and toughness, XAR® heavy plates last at least five times longer than conventional structural steel. ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe offers further special wear-resistant structural steels.
