Abrasion resistance is a property which allows a material to resist wear. Materials which are abrasion resistant are useful for situations in which mechanical wearing and damage can occur, including delicate applications such as the construction of space shuttle components. Numerous companies manufacture abrasion resistant products for a variety of applications, including products which can be custom fabricated to meet the needs of specific users.

When a product has abrasion resistance, it will resist erosion caused by scraping, rubbing, and other types of mechanical wear. This allows the material to retain its integrity and hold its form. This can be important when the form of a material is critical to its function, as seen when moving parts are carefully machined for maximum efficiency. Abrasion resistant materials can be used for both moving and fixed parts in settings where wearing could become an issue.

There are a number of ways to make a material resistant to abrasion. One option is to utilize a special coating which creates a hardened layer over the material and resists friction. Some materials are also naturally extremely hard, and are ideal for settings in which abrasion resistance will be desirable. Other materials can be specifically formulated for increased hardness, as seen in plastics facilities which manufacture abrasion resistant plastics with the use of chemicals which harden and strengthen the plastic.

Fabrication of Abrasion Resistant Steel : 

Welding :

Abrazo 400 can be welded under normal conditions (if you require advice on welding, machining or  forming then please contact any one of our offices) using MMA, MOG and SAW without preheat, up to a combined thickness of 60mm, provided hydrogen controlled electrodes are used.  Consumables should be dried in accordance with scale ‘D’ of BS 5135.  Consumables should be chosen on the basis of whether or not the weld metal is exposed to wear conditions.

Machining :

Machining or drilling is more difficult due to hardness.  For 400BHN use high-grade cobalt HSS E drilling tools and for 500BHN hard metal drilling tools are necessary.

Forming :

Abrasion steels can be readily cold formed.  Compared with steels of lower yields, three factors should be considered:

1. Higher press forces
2. A greater bend radius is required
3. Spring back.

Flame Cutting :

Material can be cut using conventional flame cutting practices without the need for preheat at ambient temperature.  The following cutting parameters are recommended:-

Milling :

Abrasion resistant steel can be machined by milling.

The following recommendations are given for general guidance:-

* For further information on 450, 500 please contact us for details.

Cold Bending :

Where possible, cold bending should be carried out with the bend axis perpendicular to the rolling direction, this being the less onerous of the two directions. The following table contains guidelines for bending to a 90°angle.  In general however, bending radii should be as generous as possible.
