***** Steel of the Month ***** This month we put the spotlight on wear resistant plates (400HB and 500HB) which are in high demand for applications where abrasion is a major issue. Wear resistant plates give plant, machinery and structures and extended working life enable operators to reduce costs over an items lifetime. Typical composition for 400HB material is :

Industry Requirements
At Oakley Steel we've found that our customers come to us with a wide range of specifications that their engineers and designers have given to them.
Some of them won't be found on this page because almost every country it seems has their own set of standards – ASTM, DIN and BS for example.
But the engineering solution is the same in whichever standard that you're working in. We can usually offer an equivalent grade of steel which has the properties that you need.
Call us on +44 121 288 0371
Quality Steel
It is always possible to buy cheaper steel. There are two ways to do this, one good and one bad. The good way is to buy a lot of steel at once. If you need 500MT we can use our buying power with the mills to offer you an even better price.
The bad way is accept lower quality. This can be done in a number of ways – relaxing testing requirements or certification or deciding to source from countries which are able to supply very low priced steel.
If you are considering buying steel from China, India or Eastern Europe we are not the supplier you are looking for. If quality is critical or you have an exact specification which you must meet then our steel is likely to fit your need.
