Operating from the industrial heart of Hamilton, Will Sheetsandplates has built a reputation as a trusted, hands-on supplier for New Zealand’s toughest projects. We understand that your work demands materials you can count on, which is why we specialise in providing reliable, high-quality AR 500 steel sheet and plate, ready for the challenges you face every day. We’re your local partner for a product that stands up to extreme wear and gets the job done right.
The strength of AR 500 lies in its carefully balanced composition. It’s a high-carbon, abrasion-resistant steel that’s heat-treated to achieve a formidable hardness of around 500 Brinell, giving it exceptional durability. While it’s incredibly tough against scraping and impact, it retains enough formability for the essential cutting and shaping required in many demanding applications. This makes it a go-to material where extreme wear is a constant concern, successfully combining resilience with practical workability.
