Rhino-Tuf® EZ
AR400 Abrasion Resistant, “Thru-Hardened” Wear Plate
Rhino-Tuf EZ is an abrasion resistant, “thru-hardened”, AR400 wear plate. This alloy wear plate offers excellent service for applications where formability, toughness, weldability and abrasion resistance are required. Typical hardness range is 385/425 BHN.
Rhino-Tuf EZ is different from commercial grade wear plates. Alloying elements such as Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum, Titanium and Copper contribute to a chemistry rich enough to provide superior wear and uniformity of hardness but lean enough to have a low Carbon Equivalency (CE) for safety in fabrication.
Do not settle for other plate products that only offer a surface hardness or that “shocks” the plate with no depth of hardness. Rhino-Tuf EZ extends service life and offers real wear performance.
Rhino-Tuf EZ is engineered to replace most other commercial grade abrasion resistant plate products including, but not limited to: HSLA, T-1, A36, AR360, AR400 and A514.
