What Is Wear-Resistant & Heat-Resistant Carbon Steel?
Wear-Resistant Carbon Steel (NM Series)
Wear-resistant carbon steel is designed with high hardness, high strength, and excellent abrasion resistance. It is widely used in mining, construction machinery, heavy equipment, and material handling systems.
Huaxiao Metal mainly supplies:
NM400 Wear-Resistant Steel Plate
NM450 Wear-Resistant Steel Plate
NM500 Wear-Resistant Steel Plate
These grades provide outstanding resistance against sliding wear, impact wear, and gouging wear.
Heat-Resistant Carbon Steel
Heat-resistant carbon steel can maintain mechanical strength and oxidation resistance at high temperatures (450–650°C or above).
It is generally used for boilers, heat exchangers, furnace parts, pipes, and petrochemical processing equipment.
Typical grades we support (depending on customer demand):
Carbon steel for elevated temperature service
Boiler and pressure vessel steel
Heat-resistant structural steel
(We can provide customized recommendations based on your working temperature and equipment requirements.)
Product Comparison: Wear-Resistant vs Heat-Resistant Carbon Steel
| Item | Wear-Resistant Carbon Steel (NM400/450/500) | Heat-Resistant Carbon Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Core Function | Resist abrasion & impact | Resist high temperature & oxidation |
| Strength | Very high hardness (HB 360–550) | High strength under elevated temperature |
| Working Conditions | Mining, loaders, crushers, dump trucks | Boilers, heaters, furnace structures |
| Form | Mainly plate | Plate / pipe / structural parts |
| Applications | Sliding wear, impact wear | Continuous high-temperature exposure |
Both categories serve different industrial needs, and Huaxiao Metal provides comprehensive technical guidance to help clients select the appropriate grade.

FAQ About Wear-Resistant & Heat-Resistant Carbon Steel
What is the difference between wear-resistant steel and heat-resistant steel?
Wear-resistant steel (NM400 / NM450 / NM500) is designed for high abrasion and impact resistance, while heat-resistant steel (e.g., 15CrMoG, T22, T91) is designed to maintain strength and resist oxidation at high temperatures. They serve different industrial needs and cannot be directly substituted.
What are the hardness levels of NM400, NM450, and NM500?
NM400: 360–430 HBW
NM450: 420–480 HBW
NM500: 480–550 HBW
Higher hardness provides greater wear resistance but may slightly reduce weldability.
Can NM series wear-resistant steel be welded or bent?
Yes, NM400/NM450/NM500 can be welded and bent, but preheating and controlled heat input are recommended to prevent localized hardness reduction or cracking.
What working temperature can wear-resistant steel handle?
Wear-resistant steel is mainly designed for room temperature or moderate heat (<200°C). For continuous high-temperature applications, heat-resistant steel should be used.
What temperature can heat-resistant carbon steel withstand?
Depending on the grade:
Low/medium temperature carbon steel: 350–450°C
Medium/high temperature steel (15CrMoG, T22): 450–600°C
High-temperature steel (T91): up to 650–700°C
Can you provide cut-to-size or processed parts?
Yes, Huaxiao Metal provides laser cutting, plasma cutting, bending, drilling, welding, and OEM part fabrication.
What certificates and standards do you provide?
We provide GB, ASTM, EN, JIS compliance certificates, material test reports, and SGS third-party inspection if requested.
Are these steels suitable for export?
Absolutely. We export to 60+ countries with standard sea-worthy packaging, ensuring safe delivery.
