JFE EH 500 (JFE Japan Make)

A total of 9 grades are available ; the standard series and the alloy series with 3 and 2 grades of hardness respectively, a new super abrasion resistant grade, as well as 360 grade, 400 grade and 500 grade with high toughness, providing a complete product line that can meet a wide range of applications.

This series consists of grades produced with the main emphasis on their hardness levels, the chemical composition being basically simple with boron added while the additon of other alloying elements is restrained.

This series contains alloying elements in greater quantities than the standard series. The prescribed hardness is guaranteed for plate thickness of up to 100mm and, at the same time, carefull consideration has been given to low-temperature toughness.

Customers often call for the development of a longer-lasting abrasion-resistant plate in order to reduce running cost. However up to now, it has been difficult to develop an abrasion resistant plate that performs better than the conventional 500 grade plate, without reducing the plate's weldability and formability. Our new higher abrasion resistant plate succeeds in doing this.

High toughness at -40˚C of abrasion-resistant steel plate was generally difficult to be guaranteed. JFE has succeeded in developing abrasionresistant steel plate including 500 grade with excellent toughness guaranteed at -40˚C. EH360LE, EH400LE and EH500LE are the most suitable plates when high toughness is required because of the application in low temperature environment and/or suffering with high impact. EH360LE has also high resistance to weld cracking, then presents high quality and safety of welded joint.

JFE's abrasion-resistant steel plates are produced at modern Works. Based on many years of experience, production incorporates the latest in heat treatment technology and proceeds under strict quality control. The result is high-quality steel plate that offers not only outstanding abrasion-resistance but good weldability and workability as well.

JFE EVERHARD is manufactured for non-structural steel plates which are specified by chemical analysis of molten steel, Brinell hardness at the plate surface and material toughness. It is not specified and guaranteed by its tensile strength and elongation which are required to be specified as structural steel plates. In case of any request for the tensile strength and/or elongation as reference, please refer to JFE Steel Technical Bulletins.
