Astm A36 Steel Plate

Heavy equipment like excavators, loaders, bulldozers, and draglines rely on steel plates for their structural components. Steel plates are used in the chassis, arms, buckets, and booms of this machinery, where high tensile strength and wear resistance are critical.

Mining trucks, such as dump trucks and haul trucks, are used to transport excavated materials. Steel plates, particularly wear-resistant grades like AR400 and AR500, are used in the bed and sides of these trucks to prevent damage from sharp rocks, heavy loads, and abrasion.

Tunnel boring machines (TBMs), used in both mining and civil excavation projects, are equipped with large steel cutters and shield plates. The steel plates help protect the machine from the high pressures and abrasive materials encountered underground.

Large shovel buckets used in surface mining operations are constructed from thick steel plates that can withstand the abrasive nature of rocks and minerals. The steel plates provide the necessary toughness to resist cracking and deformation under heavy loads.
