HIND HARD 400 Plate – Abrasion Resistant Steel by Hindustan Steel Corporation

Overview – What is HIND HARD 400?

HIND HARD 400 Plate is a specially engineered abrasion resistant steel plate with a nominal hardness of 400 BHN, designed for medium-to-heavy wear applications. Manufactured under stringent quality control by Hindustan Steel Corporation, it offers a perfect balance between wear resistance, structural strength, and workability—making it ideal for use in dump trucks, excavator buckets, liners, chutes, and other high-friction industrial equipment.

It is stocked and supplied across India and globally under the HIND HARD brand umbrella—offering reliable performance at a lower landed cost than imported alternatives.
