The Premiere Wear Resistant and Work Hardening New ENDURA Steel
If you require a steel which is very tough, very hard, very impact and abrasion resistant, easy to process and weld, and is competitively priced, then TITUS ENDURA STEEL is the answer.
Due to precise and uniform addition of nickel, chrome, and molybdenum, ENDURA has:
ENDURA’s unique Micro Structure is uniform and homogenous making it highly wear resistant. This is due in part, to the fact that ENDURA Steel is “oil- quenched’ during heat treatment. Conventional AR 500 steels are “water-quenched” resulting in an irregular and distorted micro structure.
ENDURA’s revolutionary T.R.I.P. effect (Transformation Induced by Plasticity) reduces tearing, shearing, and chip removal.

ENDURA is OIL QUENCHED resulting in a “Fine Homogenous Micro Structure” for improved hardness and easier processing. Small and even dispersion of Carbides provides hardness and abrasion resistance, less brittleness and less cracking. Homogenous Micro Structure also provides “elasticity effect” which limits gouging, tearing and shearing. Limited amount of “Unstable or Retained Austenite” reduces chipping and cracking.
AR 500 is WATER QUENCHED resulting in a “course non homogenous microstructure”. Large and uneven dispersion of carbides provides embrittling effect prone to cracking Pockets of “Unstable or Retained Austenite” causes chipping and cracking.
Plate thickness can be reduced up to 25% vs AR 500 (i.e. 2″ -> 1½), saving costs and increasing payload.

Please Note:
ENDURA’s work-hardening properties – Lower initial hardness for easier processing, but increases 50-70 brinell points with impact.
ENDURA is 1/3 more resistant to impact and cracking.
ENDURA is 7% tougher before ultimate failure of the steel.
ENDURA has 5-6% more resistance before deformation of the steel begins.
ENDURA is 50% more elastic thereby reducing cracking and breaking.

ENDURA steel is 8 times more wear-resistant than mild steel, and longer lasting. It begins as a relatively low hardness steel, but “work hardens” to become a very high hardness steel. The microstructure of the steel is very homogeneous due to the heat treatment and quenching in oil (rather than water). This limits tearing, shearing and gouging of the steel.
ENDURA is a unique steel that is easy to process, has a homogeneous microstructure, uses the trip effect, and work hardens to a very high level when in service. It’s the primary choice for those who need steel that is tough, hard, impact and abrasion resistant, and available at a competitive price. ENDURA steel has proven to extend the service life of equipment by 2-3 times when compared to other common wear steels.
ENDURA steel has a metallurgical phenomenon recognized as the TRIP Effect (Transformation Induced by Plasticity). This results from the spontaneous rearrangement of metallic atoms under pressure and stress. When rocks, gravel, and other abrasion materials crash into ENDURA steel, there’s great reduction in the damage because of the TRIP Effect.
ENDURA wear steels last longer than other brands because of the TRIP effect, chemistry, and homogeneous microstructure. This results in less downtime for you, and sometimes even a reduction in steel thickness so that you can increase your payload.
There are several advantages to ENDURA steel over other types of steel:
1. Best wear resistance of any impact and abrasion resistant plate
• 8 times greater wear than mild steel
• 2-4 times greater life than conventional 500 BHN steels
2. Reduce plate thickness up to 25% vs AR 500 (ie. 2″ -> 1.5″)
3. Ability to “Work Harden” from 450 BHN to 560 BHN
4. Ease of processing compared to conventional 500 BHN steels
5. Can be welded with Low Hydrogen Rod providing a major cost saving
6. No pre or post heating required for welding
ENDURA steel is best used in high-impact and high-wear applications. It is ideal for use in hammers, underground miners, screen decks, shaker screens, perforated wear screen, debarkers, bark conveyors, wood chippers, screens, and more. The high durability of ENDURA steel from Titus means it can be used in some of the harshest conditions with some of the toughest applications.
ENDURA steel will continue to work harden under impact, but the amount of deformation depends on the hardness of the steel and the amount of impact. Generally, the surface work-hardens from 450 to 550 Brinell (BHN) in most conditions.
