    If It’s Tough Enough For The Sherman Tank, It’s Tough Enough For You

    General Characteristics of AR 500 Steel Plates

    TITUS AR 500 Steel Plates are heat treated and intended for severe wear applications requiring a high degree of abrasion resistance.

    Originally developed for extreme wear applications including ballistics, the Titus AR 500 steel plates combine a high carbon level with Titus’s proven manganese, chrome/nickel chemistry to produce a steel with up to ten times the wear resistance of ordinary steel.

    AR 500 Steel Plates: Heat Treated for Higher Hardness Rating

    Titus AR 500 steel plates are heat treated to provide a Brinell hardness range of 490 to 510. Abrasion resistance for the AR500 steel plates is typically 5:1 compared to mild steels.
