Laser Cutting Technology

Laser cutting is an excellent process for carbon steel, stainless steel

and aluminum. Other advantages include:


High quality cuts

High precision cut parts

Higher speeds than precision plasma under

Minimal clean up

Narrow kerf width

Smallest heat affected zone

100XF TEMPER LEVELED PLATE

100XF steel plate has been developed for applications where increased strength-toweight ratios are required. It has physical properties similar to those of ASTM A514
even though its manufacturing process does not require heat treatment.
100XF is available as temper leveled, cut-to-length plate. Temper leveling improves
flatness and surface quality, and eliminates coil memory, all of which enhance laser
and plasma cutting quality. It also offers good weldability, formability, toughness, and
weathering resistance. This excellent combination of properties is possible because
of the low-carbon chemistry and the thermo-mechanical controlled processing used
in the manufacture of 100 XF.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Applications for 100XF include transport trailers, construction equipment, crane

booms, mobile manlifts, agriculture equipment, heavy vehicle frames, and chassis.

High Strength
ASTM A-514 PLATE
(Grade B, Grade H, Grade F, Grade Q)

The A514 plate steels are a group of quenched and tempered alloys with attractive
advantages and characteristics. The most important are high yield strength at 90 or
100 ksi minimum, weldability, and good toughness at low atmospheric temperatures.
Designed for a wide range of structural uses as well as machinery and equipment,
these alloy steels offer help with selecting the optimum in strength, toughness, corrosion
resistance, impact-abrasion resistance, and long-term economy.

1144 Modified offers high strength and hardness and is applicable where resistance
to deformation and wear are essential. It may be flame hardened to further enhance
surface properties. It is frequently used as an economical replacement for more
expensive quenched-and-tempered alloy grades.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Typical applications include cams, dies, gears, machine ways, molds, and
sprockets.

The Clean-Cut/LFM 20 families of plate steel were developed for improved machining.
Produced by a special calcium treatment and a controlled sulphur process, Clean-Cut
steels contain sulfide inclusions which are predominately calcium modified to make
them smaller and more uniformly distributed. The result: enhanced machinability.

ABRASION RESISTING PLATE

Abrasion Resisting Steel was designed to satisfy the demand for a grade of steel that
would give prolonged service life where abrasion is the primary cause of failure. The
surface hardness of Abrasion Resisting Steel will vary by grade from 200-500 BRINELL.
Hardox 450 is an abrasion resistant brand with a hardness of 450 bhn. This brand
of abrasion resistant plate is intended for higher, impact, wear applications where
cold-bending and very good weldability are beneficial.
Hardox 450 is a quenched and tempered produced plate that is used in Dump bodies,
crushers, feeders, cutter edges, buckets, etc.

Alro's CAD to CNC capabilities offer increased productivity, easy duplication

of previously manufactured shapes, decreased opportunity for errors, and
decreased turn-around time.

Once the part is compiled via the CAD program, the file specifications are then
sent directly to the burning machine.

MANGANESE PLATE (11% - 14% Manganese)

Manganese plate is a nonmagnetic steel that work hardens to a 650 Brinell. It is a 12Mn austenitic steel with an exceptionally high level of wear-resistance when subject
to work-hardening by shocks or high pressures in service.

WEAR RESISTANCE

Severe wear on the surface has a work-hardening affect on the austenitic structure
of this steel. This leads to an increase from the initially low hardness (about 200
BHN) to a service hardness of at least 500 BHN. This work-hardening maintains
itself through in-service life. The underlayers not work-hardened maintain a very
high resistance to shock.

SIZES

Alro's thickness range is 3/16" - 1/2"

APPLICATIONS

Manganese Plate is the ideal solution for cases where severe wear is combined with
shocks or high pressure capable of work-hardened its austenitic structure. Used in
jaws of crushers, hammers or pulverizers, cutting edges of large excavators, liners
of shotblasting units, cores and wall of parpen moulds, and screens.
Alro stocks Manganese Plate in pattern sizes in 3/16", 1/4", & 3/8".

SAFETY PLATE PRODUCTS

SlipNOT is a surface treatment performed on a variety of metals through a plasma
stream depositions. Plasma stream deposition is the application of a molten metal
alloy to a metallic surface. The extreme temperature of this method assures
maximum adhesion to the base surface. It results in a Martensitic (hard alloy) product.
This is not a grit simply rolled or coated onto the base plate!
SlipNOT can be utilized in the following applications:

Floors

Walkways

Bridge Decking

Floor Armor

Pump Platforms
Ladder Rungs

Wet Decks

Trench Covers
Pit Covers

Pump Platforms
Flume Covers

Machine Platforms

Drill Platforms

Ramps

Mezzanines

Stair Treads

Catwalks

FILE HARD

Extreme wear longevity is the product of the Martensitic formation of the

super-alloy, allowing a hardness of up to 62 on the Rockwell C scale.

RANDOM HATCH MATRIX

This stacked hatched surface means the continuous presentation of new sharp
faces as the surface slowly wears.

WELDABLE

In that the wear surface is uncoated steel integral with the base plate, SlipNOT
can be directly welded to with no surface preparation of any kind.

BOND STRENGTH

The bond strength of SlipNOT to plate exceeds 4,450 psi. The coated-on grit
product claims only 710 psi maximum.

FABRICATION

Shear, flame cut, drill, and punch right through the face for complete versatility in
shop or field.

MAINTENANCE

SlipNOT provides the design flexibility to offer

unique combinations of different metals for your
unique applications, such as merging the toughness of steel with the light weight of aluminum.
