Quard 500 is a premium-grade abrasion resistant steel plate manufactured by NLMK Clabecq, Belgium, known for its exceptional hardness, surface quality, and consistency. With a nominal hardness of 500 HBW, it is engineered for high-abrasion, high-impact environments such as mining, crushers, and heavy equipment.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we stock and supply original Quard 500 plates with MTCs, TPI approvals, and custom profiling options — ready for export or PAN-India dispatch.
Quard 500 is a quenched and tempered steel plate with superior wear resistance and structural integrity. It is designed to outperform standard 500 BHN wear plates in terms of:
Quard 500 is ideal for applications demanding longer service life, precision fabrication, and reduced downtime.
This plate is extensively used in extreme abrasion zones and impact-heavy equipment, where standard AR500 or Indian 500 BHN plates might wear faster.
