Creusabro®

Hard all the way through

Creusabro® wear plate offers new, improved material properties compared to traditional water-quenched wear plate (HB500), for example in applications in the mining, excavation, crushing and recycling industries.

The unique manufacturing process, with carefully controlled oil quenching and tailored metallurgy, results in a wear plate that is “through-hardened” in a completely different way compared to the most commonly used wear plate today (HB500).

Better operating economy

The material retains its hardness up to around 450°C, contains Cr and Mo carbides, and even work-hardens under wear, reaching its full wear resistance in use. This allows for a simpler manufacturing process, for example in cold forming.

With significantly better wear resistance through the entire plate thickness and considerably easier formability compared to HB500, Creusabro® enables:

Extended service life of wear parts (typically 30–100% longer than HB500 plate)
More options to protect particularly exposed areas against wear
Possibility of increased payload thanks to thinner plate with maintained service life
Better operating economy

Bergs Mekaniska is proud to offer ArcelorMittal’s Creusabro® product range and will be happy to answer any questions about the material and its properties.
