Alabama Hardsurfacing, Inc.’s unique overlaying process produces one of the best chromium carbide plates in the world. Using a low carbon steel base plate, Super Wear® Plate can easily be formed and welded to most structural surfaces. Super Wear® Plate material gets its wear properties through its maximum carbide concentration and carbide alignment. That why Super Wear® Plate is the best chromium carbide overlay plate available on the market.

Super Wear Plate is manufactured in 5’ x 10' plates, as well as 6' x 10' plates with a single overlay pass or double overlay pass and from 3/8” thick to 1” thick. Super Wear® Plate can be used for any kind of wear problems. Our customers tell us that Super Wear® Plate will last six times longer than the AR plate or T-1 plate.
