Steel Plate & Sheet

Weathering & Wear Resistant Plate

Project plate for two different duties: weathering steel for exposed outdoor structures and wear resistant plate for abrasion service.

Product Overview

Separate corrosion resistance from abrasion duty

Himount supplies weathering steel plate for bridges, outdoor structures, containers and architectural work, as well as wear resistant plate for mining, liners, chutes, buckets and heavy equipment. The two product routes are quoted separately because the required standard, grade, delivery condition and performance target are different.

Key Specifications

Product seriesWeathering steel plate, Corten-style plate, wear resistant steel plate, abrasion resistant heavy plate and cut-to-size liner plate.
Primary standardsASTM A588/A588M, ASTM A242/A242M, EN 10025-5 and GB/T 4171 for weathering steel; NM and AR series references are handled according to buyer project specifications.
Common gradesASTM A588 Gr.A/B/C/K, ASTM A242 Type 1/2, S355J2W, S355K2W, Q355NH, Q450NQR1, NM360, NM400, NM450, NM500, AR400, AR450 and AR500.
Manufacturing routeHot rolled, normalized or controlled rolled for weathering plate; quenched and tempered supply is common for higher hardness wear resistant plate.
Performance focusWeathering steel is ordered for atmospheric corrosion resistance and patina behavior; wear plate is ordered for hardness, impact condition and abrasion service.
Supply rangeThickness, width, length, flatness, cutting plan and plate tolerance are confirmed by mill capability, grade, hardness range and project drawings.
Order detailsConfirm standard, grade, thickness, width, length, hardness, delivery condition, surface, cut drawing, tolerance, MTC, inspection, packing and destination port.

Typical Applications

Where these plates are normally specified

Outdoor structuresBridges, facade work, exposed steel members, rail vehicles, containers and landscape structures where weathering behavior is part of the design.
Mining and bulk handlingHoppers, chutes, crushers, screens, conveyors and loading zones that require abrasion resistant liner plate.
Heavy equipmentBuckets, dump bodies, cutting parts, wear strips and replaceable liners supplied from plate lists or drawings.
Weathering steel procurement note

Confirm whether the project calls for natural patina development, coating, welding procedure, atmospheric exposure condition and the exact standard grade.

Wear resistant plate procurement note

Confirm hardness range, bending or welding need, cut shape, flatness, service abrasion condition, impact exposure and certificate requirements.

Buyer FAQ

Questions to settle before quotation

Is weathering plate the same as wear resistant plate?

No. Weathering plate is selected for atmospheric corrosion resistance in outdoor structures. Wear resistant plate is selected for hardness and abrasion service. State the intended duty in the RFQ.

Can Corten be used as the final grade name?

Corten is a common trade and buyer search term. Final supply should still be confirmed by the ordered standard and grade, such as ASTM A588, ASTM A242 or EN 10025-5 weathering grades.

What should be confirmed for NM400 or NM500?

Confirm hardness range, thickness, flatness, cutting plan, welding or bending requirement, service abrasion condition, inspection level and MTC requirement.

Should weathering steel plate be painted?

It depends on project exposure and design requirements. Confirm surface condition, coating plan, welding procedure and whether natural patina development is acceptable.
