Quard 500 Plate – NLMK Belgium 500 BHN Abrasion Resistant Steel

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.

What is Quard 500 Plate?

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:

  • Uniform hardness across thickness
  • Better cold forming capability
  • Higher flatness tolerance
  • Excellent machinability and weldability

Quard 500 is ideal for applications demanding longer service life, precision fabrication, and reduced downtime.

Applications of Quard 500 Plate

This plate is extensively used in extreme abrasion zones and impact-heavy equipment, where standard AR500 or Indian 500 BHN plates might wear faster.

Use Cases Include

  1. Mining excavator buckets and shovel liners
  2. Stone crusher liners and hammers
  3. Tipper truck bed and sidewall armor
  4. Cement plant chute and elevator liners
  5. Shot blasting cabins and anti-wear panels
  6. Defense-grade ballistic shields (Level 3-4 equivalents)
