Steel plate AR500 for ore transport chute wear liner fabrication

Ore transfer chutes are subjected to constant scouring by hard ore materials and violent impacts from large ore chunks; consequently, standard liners quickly wear through or crack. Frequent shutdowns for replacement not only disrupt the flow of ore processing and transport but also drive up operational and maintenance costs. AR500 steel plate is the ideal material for manufacturing wear-resistant liners for such chutes.

As a specialist supplier of AR500 steel, BBN Steel has optimized its supply solutions to meet the specific operating conditions of ore transfer chutes. Our plates combine superior wear resistance with high impact toughness, effectively withstanding long-term abrasion from ore materials. We offer high-precision cutting based on liner blueprints—eliminating the need for secondary on-site processing—and provide full mill test certificates with every batch. We also offer recommendations on optimal plate thickness based on the specific abrasiveness of the ore being handled.

Many mining clients report that by using BBN Steel's AR500 plates for chute liners, they have significantly extended the service life of the liners compared to the standard wear-resistant plates used previously. This has led to a marked reduction in unplanned downtime for the transport system, ultimately lowering the overall costs associated with spare parts procurement and on-site replacement.
