The advantages:
Longer life: As a result of their high hardness, Abrasive Resistant steel plate has have a wear resistance many times higher than that of conventional steels.
Less weight: Due to the high hardness compared to conventional steels, the thickness of wear resistant plates can be reduced significantly. This leads to lower dead-weights and thus higher payloads.
Best weldability: Grade 400 can be welded without problems. Due to the relatively low carbon content, pre-heating is not necessary for small thickness.
