How to choose the cutting method of AR400 wear-resistant steel plate

We need to pay attention to the hardness when cutting the plate. The hardness of AR400 wear-resistant steel plate is related to its thickness. The AR400 wear-resistant steel plate on the market is divided into thin and thick plate. Thick AR400 plates are harder, and more force is required when cutting. In order to prevent the influence of high temperature steel plate hardness, generally laser cutting or waterjet cutting is selected when processing materials such as AR400 steel plates.

Laser cutting, as the name implies, uses the straight-line propagation characteristics of laser and high-intensity energy to process steel plates. AR400 wear-resistant steel plate is very hard, and general flame cutting requires a lot of energy and time, and the effect of temperature on the steel plate is irreversible. The laser is fast and accurate, which is more suitable for this type of material.

Not to mention waterjet cutting. Where there is water, the performance of AR400 wear-resistant steel plates can be guaranteed. However, due to the high cost of waterjet cutting, careful consideration is still given when dealing with a large number of plates. The processing of AR400 wear-resistant steel plate also includes bending and welding. It needs to soften the steel plate first, use its own toughness, and be careful not to crack due to excessive processing.
