1. Cutting: Plasma cutting, carbon arc cutting, and grinding wheel saw are used to cut large-area composite steel plates into the desired shape. A better method is to use air or inert gas plasma arc cutting. The recommended method is to start cutting from the surface of the alloy. Carbon arc cutting should start from one side of the substrate. If using a saw blade, it can only be cut in a straight line and requires a silicon carbide saw blade.
2. Bending: NM500 wear-resistant plate can be cold processed into shape, and can also be curved or circular. During concave forming, alloy cracks will close due to the effect of internal stress; When convex forming, cracks will enlarge, which is a normal location. If the crack is too large, repair it with the corresponding welding rod. Press into the pipe according to the recommended minimum bending radius.
3. Opening: Plasma cutting can be used for large holes, and electrical discharge machining is recommended for small holes. The countersunk holes for assembling bolts can be cut using plasma or carbon arc cutting.
4. Welding: The base material of large-area composite steel plates is steel plates with good weldability. When two steel plates need to be spliced, the back base metal can be welded together first, and then the corresponding welding rod can be filled in the front welding layer. Wear resistant steel plates can also be welded to other steel structures
