Rhino-Tuf® EZ
AR400 Abrasion Resistant, Alloy 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 400/440BHN. Typical tensile strength is 180,000 PSI.
Rhino-Tuf EZ is different from commercial grade wear plates. Made in controlled heat lots; the addition of 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 “shock” the plate to hardness with no depth of hardness. 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. Rhino-Tuf EZ extends service life and offers real wear performance. Call or email us for a quote.

Key Features
Clean Steel Technology – a manufacturing process that delivers consistent steel through control and refinement of the melt.
Vacuum Degassed – eliminates many impurities found in standard commercial grade alloys. The result is a better, cleaner, and stronger product that extends service.
Abrasion Resistant – designed to resist many forms of abrasion, impact and gouging.
Deep Uniform Hardness – quench and tempered “thru-hardened” plate that will provide consistency in overall wear performance.
Ease of Machining and Welding – Free of hard and spots which allow for predictability in machining. Utilize the “Standard Low Hydrogen Method” for welding this alloy plate product.
Low Carbon Equivalency (CE) – User friendly. Formable. Responds well to fabrication in the field.
Note: Wear plate products are designed for liner applications; they are not intended for use as self-supporting structures or lifting devices.
