AR500, or AR500F steel, is a high-carbon alloy steel with great strength and impact resistance that’s supplied nationwide across our 55+ branches.
This is a high-carbon alloy steel that is perfect for severe weather conditions. It’s a high strength steel grade with excellent wear and impact resistance.
This grade withstands wear and tear, and has good corrosion resistance. It’s a high strength steel with excellent impact and sliding resistance, and decent welding capability. However, one disadvantage is malleability. It is considered to have fair formability.
AR500 is often used in the mining, aggregate, and material handling industries.
It is best for heavy wear applications. This includes mining equipment, armor, truck plows, dump trucks, and buckets.
AR500 or AR5ooF steel has good machinability.
It has good weldability.
It is heat treatable.

It has good weldability.
It is heat treatable.
This grade is used where high wear and impact resistance is required. This includes heavy machinery found in the mining, aggregate, and construction industries.
This steel shows excellent strength. This makes the steel durable, and resistant to wear and deformation due to impact. The tradeoff, however, is that it is not formable, this includes bending.
The Brinell Hardness number differentiates the abrasion resistant steel grades. Therefore, AR400 will have a lower hardness than AR500 / AR500F. AR450 is not recommended for machining, but is formable. Meanwhile AR500 / AR500F is not formable, but shows good machinability.
