XAR®

XAR® (eXtra Abrasion Resistant) steels from ThyssenKrupp Steel are the solution for applications where wear is a key factor. XAR® is available in various grades from 300 HBW to 600 HBW and plate thicknesses from 1/8” to 4”, tailored to particular applications, e.g. mining equipment, earthmoving machinery, steel mill and cement plant equipment, agricultural machinery, etc.

XAR® 400, XAR® 450 and XAR® 500 plates can also be supplied as cut-to-length plates in thicknesses up to approx. 3/8”. Due to their very close thickness tolerances of ±0.008 mm they offer weight reduction benefits as well as advantages in terms of cold forming.
