Quard 450 is a high-performance abrasion resistant steel plate manufactured by NLMK Clabecq, Belgium. With a nominal hardness of 450 HBW, Quard 450 delivers exceptional toughness, formability, and superior flatness — making it a preferred choice for heavy-duty wear applications in mining, cement, quarrying, and construction industries.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we are one of the trusted importers and stockists of Quard 450 plates in India, offering fast delivery, custom cutting, and full documentation support.
Quard 450 is a quenched and tempered steel plate designed to offer a balance of wear resistance and structural strength. Compared to generic AR450 alternatives, Quard 450 plates offer:
This plate is produced using NLMK’s unique steel-making and quenching technology — ensuring reliability in demanding field conditions.
Quard 450 is suitable for moderate to high abrasion conditions, particularly where both hardness and impact toughness are needed.
