Structural & base plates
Durable Structural & Base Plates
Wear in structural and base plates can lead to catastrophic failures in industrial applications. Our abrasion resistant and alloy steel plates are engineered to withstand severe conditions.
The wear problem
The primary wear mechanisms affecting structural plates are sliding abrasion and impact. These forces can lead to surface degradation, reducing the integrity and load-bearing capacity of the plates.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Plate | K02100 | 8-16 | Offers high resistance to wear and extends service life. |
| Structural Plate | K02401 | 10-20 | Designed to withstand heavy impacts and minimize maintenance costs. |
| Wear Plate | K11789 | 12-24 | Enhanced durability against sliding wear, ensuring longer operational periods. |
| Support Plate | S32205 | 6-12 | Provides excellent corrosion resistance combined with high strength. |
| Mounting Plate | S32750 | 10-15 | Superior hardness allows for a longer life in extreme conditions. |

Questions engineers ask
What wear mechanisms impact structural plates?
Sliding abrasion and impact are the most common wear mechanisms. Understanding these will help in selecting the appropriate plate material.
How do I determine the right thickness?
Thickness should be chosen based on the load requirements and expected wear conditions of your specific application.
What is the benefit of alloy steel plates?
Alloy steel plates offer superior mechanical properties, including enhanced wear resistance and durability, compared to mild steel.
Can these plates be welded?
Yes, our abrasion resistant alloy steel plates can be welded, but it's essential to follow proper welding procedures to avoid compromising the material properties.
