What is AR 400?
AR400 steel is a high-carbon alloy steel known for its exceptional abrasion resistance and durability, making it ideal for environments where wear and tear are a constant challenge. With a hardness level that provides a perfect balance between strength and ductility, AR400 is engineered to withstand harsh conditions without compromising on performance. This makes it a preferred choice for applications in mining, construction, and manufacturing, where it's used in everything from protective wear plates to heavy-duty equipment parts. Its ability to resist surface wear ensures a longer lifespan for machinery, reducing downtime and maintenance costs, and ultimately enhancing productivity and efficiency in demanding industrial settings.
