G350 Wear Steel

G350 is a high-strength structural steel commonly used in the engineering and construction industries for structural and general fabrication. This steel easy to cut, weld, form, drill, machine and tap. This steel has no wear properties but ideal for components that require strength rather than wear resistance.

Chromium Carbide Plate offers outstanding wear performance

Key properties include:

  • Up to 30 times longer wear life than mild steel.
  • Up to 6 times longer wear life than G450 wear steel.
  • This plate can withstand a moderate level of continuous impact as long as it is fully supported underneath.
  • Heat resistant up to 600°C.
  • The overlay surface of this plate consists of a series of weld beads with numerous hairline cracks. These cracks are a natural stress relief effect and are beneficial to the material. These cracks do not affect the performance of the plate.
