NM450 is a high‑hardness wear‑resistant steel under the GB/T 24186 standard. With a nominal hardness of 450 HBW, NM450 provides significantly enhanced abrasion resistance compared with NM360 and NM400, making it suitable for severe wear environments.
It is widely used in mining machinery, loader buckets, dump truck liners, cutting edges, and industrial wear plates where high hardness and impact resistance are required.
