What is Quard 400 Plate?

Quard 400 is a quenched abrasion-resistant steel plate with a nominal hardness of 400 Brinell (HBW). It delivers long-lasting performance in sliding and moderate impact wear conditions. What sets Quard apart is its ultra-clean steel, low impurity levels, and uniform mechanical properties across the entire plate surface — reducing the risk of cracking or inconsistent wear.

Applications of Quard 400 Plate

Quard 400 offers exceptional performance in applications requiring:

  • High wear resistance
  • Consistent surface quality
  • Good weldability and formability

Key Applications

  1. Excavator buckets and loader blades
  2. Dump truck liners and tipper body floors
  3. Chutes, hoppers, and silos in mining plants
  4. Liner plates for crushers, conveyors, and screens
  5. Cement plant handling systems
  6. Recycling and scrap processing equipment

Quard 400 vs AR400 – Key Differences

Feature Quard 400 (NLMK) Generic AR400 Plate
Origin Belgium India / China
Flatness Control Excellent Moderate
Hardness Uniformity High Variable
Weldability Clean and stable Often inconsistent
Plate Finish Smooth surface Rough mill scale
Recommended For OEM, critical fit Low-cost replacement

If you’re fabricating wear-critical machinery, Quard 400 ensures longer service life and faster fit-up during installation.
