What is NM600 steel?
- NM600 is a high-strength wear-resistant steel plate. The "NM" meaning wear resistance, while "600" indicates that the average Brinell hardness value of this steel plate is approximately 600HBW.
- NM600 steel plate complies with the GB/T 24186-2009 standard. It possesses excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance, and is widely used in occasions or parts requiring wear resistance. This application helps prolong the service life of equipment and reduce downtime and financial investment caused by maintenance.
- NM600 now is one of highest hardness steel plates in China and in the world,It is widely used in extremely harsh wear conditions, such as crusher blades, lining plates of mining machinery, excavator accessories, etc
what is NM600 steel equivalent to?
NM600 steel is equivalent to other wear-resistant steels such as Hardox 600 produced by SSAB of Sweden, EH600 from Japan, and AR600 from the United States, all of which have similar mechanical properties and are used in similar applications.
What is the hardness of NM600?
The hardness of NM600 steel typically ranges from 570 to 630 HBW.
what are the properties of NM600 material?
- High Wear Resistance: NM600 steel offers superior wear resistance, making it ideal for applications that involve extrem heavy abrasion.
- High Strength: It has a high tensile strength, contributing to its durability and ability to withstand mechanical stress.
- Good Toughness: Despite its hardness, NM600 maintains good toughness, allowing it to absorb impacts without cracking.
- Good Weldability and Machinability: NM600 can be welded and machined using appropriate techniques, although preheating and post-weld heat treatment may be required to prevent cracking.
Mechanical Properties of NM600 High-Performance Wear-Resistant Steel
The superior performance of NM600 high-performance wear-resistant steel is a result of its heat treatment and optimized alloy composition.
| Property | NM600 |
|---|---|
| Hardness | 570–630 HBW |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 1600 MPa |
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 1800 MPa |
| Delivery Condition | Quenched & Tempered |
These mechanical characteristics provide excellent resistance to sliding abrasion while maintaining adequate toughness to withstand moderate impact loads.
Chemical Composition of NM600 Wear-Resistant Steel
The chemical composition is carefully controlled to balance hardness and toughness:
| Element | Content Range (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.30–0.40 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.70–1.50 |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.20–0.50 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 0.50–1.50 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 0.30–0.80 |
| Boron (B) | Trace |
Applications of NM600 Steel Plate
NM600 steel plate has a broad range of applications, primarily in the fields of mining machinery, crashing machinery, and port machinery. Its three most common application areas are as follows:
1.Quarry and Construction Machinery:
Examples: Gravel and stone conveying equipment (such as routes, chutes, hoppers), crushing equipment, shovels, excavators, forklifts, trailers, bulldozers, dump trucks, dredgers, crushers, grinders, screens, hoppers, mixers, and concrete aggregate molds.

2.Mining Machinery:
Examples: Fans, dischargers, spiral chutes, crushers, grinders, screens, and conveyors.
NM600 Steel Plate for Cement and Refractory Material Plants
3.Cement and Refractory Material Plants:
Examples: Crushers, chutes, and cyclone separators.
In these applications, NM500 wear-resistant plates serve as wear-resistant components. They can withstand harsh working environments and heavy loads, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment. Due to its high cost-performance ratio, NM500 is often used as an alternative to Hardox 450 wear plates.
Advantages of NM600 High-Performance Wear-Resistant Steel
- Ultra-High Wear Resistance – Resists sliding abrasion and reduces material loss.
- Extended Equipment Life – Reduces downtime and replacement frequency.
- High Strength Performance – Maintains structural integrity under moderate impact.
- Lower Maintenance Costs – Longer-lasting steel reduces operational expenses.
These advantages make NM600 an optimal choice for mining, cement, and heavy equipment applications where durability is critical.
