RockHard 450 Plate – High Strength Wear Plate for Extreme Abrasion

RockHard 450 Plates are abrasion-resistant steel plates known for their superior hardness (~450 BHN) and enhanced strength properties. Ideal for industries dealing with sliding or impact wear, this grade offers better wear life than standard 400 BHN plates — making it a cost-effective solution where durability is non-negotiable.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we offer both RockHard 450 and equivalent alternatives under our premium-grade HIND HARD 450 series — manufactured to meet the expectations of OEMs, contractors, and heavy-duty equipment makers.

What is RockHard 450 Plate?

RockHard 450 is a quenched and tempered wear-resistant steel with a nominal hardness of 450 BHN. Designed for superior strength and impact resistance, this grade bridges the gap between 400 and 500 BHN plates, offering extended service life without sacrificing weldability or formability.

Key Highlights:

  • Hardness: ~425–475 BHN
  • Impact Resistance: Higher than 400 BHN plates
  • Application Life: Up to 50% longer vs AR400
  • Available in: 6 mm to 100 mm thickness

Where Are RockHard 450 Plates Used?

These plates are perfect for industries that require long-term resistance to abrasion and high mechanical loads:

  1. Mining Buckets & Liners – High-load rock contact zones
  2. Construction Blades & Attachments – Dozers, excavators
  3. Cement Plant Wear Zones – Clinker conveyors, crusher zones
  4. Material Handling – Silos, feeders, hoppers, wear guides
  5. Earthmoving Equipment – Tippers, ploughs, grabs
  6. OEM Fabrication – Wear-prone machinery parts and reinforcements

RockHard 450 Plate vs Other Grades

Grade Hardness (BHN) Best Used In
RockHard 400 ~400 Standard sliding wear
RockHard 450 ~450 Moderate impact + abrasion zones
RockHard 500 ~500 High-impact, maximum wear areas
Sail Hard / Tiscral ~200–250 General fabrication, not AR-grade
HIND HARD 450 ~450 Indian equivalent to RockHard 450
