The 500 BHN (Brinell Hardness Number) Sheets and Plates are primarily made up of carbon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, boron, and nickel, all of which enhance their hardness and toughness. These plates usually have a high carbon content (around 0.30%), which, when combined with various alloying elements, offers remarkable wear resistance. Their mechanical properties boast a tensile strength ranging from 1400 to 1800 MPa, a yield strength exceeding 1000 MPa, and impressive impact toughness, even in low temperatures. With a hardness rating of 500 BHN, they are perfectly suited for abrasive and high-impact environments, ensuring a long service life even under challenging conditions.
