NM 500 Plates – High-Hardness Abrasion Resistant Steel

NM 500 Plates are premium-grade wear resistant steel plates designed to handle extreme abrasive environments and high-load impact systems. With a nominal surface hardness of ~500 HBW, these plates are engineered for industries where heavy friction, gouging, and sliding contact degrade standard materials quickly — such as mining, cement, construction, and bulk material handling equipment.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply NM 500 Plates in standard and cut-to-size formats under our flagship HIND HARD brand — optimized for Indian and international market demands. Whether you’re replacing worn-out liners in crushers or fabricating parts for dump trucks or excavators, our plates offer the perfect blend of hardness, weldability, and structural integrity.

Key Features of NM 500 Steel Plates

  1. Hardness Range: ~500 BHN (Brinell Hardness)
  2. Thickness Range: 6 mm to 100 mm
  3. Standards: GB/T NM500
  4. Form: As-rolled / Quenched & Tempered
  5. Applications: Chutes, hoppers, truck beds, crushers, liners

Applications of NM 500 Wear Plates

NM 500 is widely used where machinery components undergo high surface wear. Some typical use cases include:

  1. Mining Equipment: Liner plates, tipper bodies, ore transfer chutes
  2. Construction Machinery: Dozer blades, excavator buckets
  3. Cement Plants: Clinker hoppers, impact zones
  4. Material Handling Systems: Conveyor parts, rotary feeders
  5. Agriculture: Harrow discs, tilling parts

Technical Properties of NM 500 Plate

Property Value / Range
Surface Hardness 470–530 HBW
Tensile Strength 1450–1700 MPa
Yield Strength ~1100 MPa
Elongation ~10–12%
Impact Toughness ≥ 18 J at -20°C
Thickness Tolerance As per EN 10029 / Mill Spec

Weldability & Fabrication

NM 500 Plates can be machined, bent, and welded using recommended preheat and low-hydrogen electrode procedures. While their high hardness limits deep forming, they are suitable for precision profiling, plasma cutting, and arc welding.
