The NM series of wear-resistant steels – including NM400, NM450, and NM500 – provides engineered solutions for industrial applications where abrasion resistance directly impacts operational efficiency and cost.
These graded materials enable precise selection based on specific service conditions. NM400 wear-resistant steel serves as the reliable foundation grade, offering excellent resistance to sliding abrasion and impact in applications such as dump truck liners and transfer hoppers.
For more severe operating environments, NM450 wear-resistant steel delivers enhanced surface hardness and durability. This intermediate grade demonstrates superior performance in mining equipment liners and earth-moving machinery components, effectively extending maintenance cycles.
At the premium level, NM500 wear-resistant steel provides maximum protection against cutting and gouging wear in extreme conditions. This high-hardness grade is specified for critical components like crusher liners and bulldozer blades where equipment failure is not an option.
The strategic implementation of these graded wear-resistant steels allows industries to optimize both performance and cost. This precision approach prevents both over-engineering and under-engineering of components while supporting sustainability through extended service life and reduced replacement frequency.
As industrial demands continue to evolve, the NM series remains at the forefront of material technology, providing proven wear-resistant solutions across the mining, construction, and material handling sectors.
