Wear-resistant steel plates are available in both single-sided and double-sided versions, depending on their design and application requirements. Technically, wear-resistant steel plates are produced by adding specific alloying elements (such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum) or undergoing special heat treatment processes to create a surface structure with high hardness and wear resistance. Single-sided wear-resistant steel plates are typically treated for wear resistance on one side and are suitable for applications with high wear requirements on one side, such as the inner linings of mining equipment and conveyor rollers. Double-sided wear-resistant steel plates, on the other hand, are treated for wear resistance on both sides, such as crusher hammers and mixer blades.
From an application perspective, single-sided wear-resistant steel plates, due to their lower cost, are often used in applications with uneven wear resistance requirements, such as the inner linings of material conveying pipelines. Double-sided wear-resistant steel plates, due to their comprehensive wear resistance, are more suitable for complex wear environments requiring protection on both sides, such as mill liners in the cement industry.
Industry standards typically measure the wear resistance of wear-resistant steel plates using Brinell hardness (HB) or Rockwell hardness (HRC). Double-sided wear-resistant plates must meet these hardness requirements on both sides. Furthermore, parameters such as thickness and alloy content also affect wear resistance and service life.
