QT-PLUS®
QT-PLUS®
QT-PLUS® wear steel , combines a specific chemistry with a unique heat-treatment pro-cess which manufactures uniform characteris-tics EVERY TIME . Whereas commodity AR grade steels, with inconsistent heat treating practices and wide variation in chemistries create “hard” and “soft” spots which reduce workability and performance.
- QT-PLUS® wear steel is a premium-quality grade of alloy steel unmatched in the industry, with up to 3-5 times the wear life of other Quenched and Tempered AR steel.
- Parts made from QT-PLUS® not only provide outstanding resistance to abrasion and wear, but they remain amazingly ductile due to their rich chemistry.
- ARMOUR stocks these plates in Thicknesses ranging from 6mm to 125mm to meet your requirements.
- QT-PLUS® wear steel chemical composition produces a material that retains hardness throughout the entire plate thickness. Commodity grade steels possess a lean chemistry and that does not allow for through-hardness resulting in excessive wear.
- QT-PLUS® wear steel is manufactured under the strictest quality standards always. With commodity AR grade steels, lack of consistent quality control results in plates that can have characteristics such as warping or waviness, making installations difficult and costly.QT-PLUS® wear steel is produced and processed with ISO 9001:2015 certified standards to ensure the best quality.
