What is HSC 500T Ballistic Protection Plate?

HSC 500T is a high-hardness, high-toughness quenched and tempered armor steel plate, engineered for multi-hit ballistic performance and blast impact absorption.

Key Features of HSC 500T Plate:

  • Hardness Range: 480 to 540 BHN
  • Enhanced Toughness: Better energy absorption compared to standard high-hardness plates
  • Multi-Hit Resistance: Tested against rifle and armor-piercing rounds (depending on thickness)
  • Thickness Range: From 6 mm to 50 mm
  • Surface Finish: Smooth, weldable, and paintable

Suited for both vehicle armor projects and building/infrastructure protection zones.

If you’re searching for “tactical grade ballistic steel plate supplier in India” or “HSC 500T plate price and specifications,” you’re at the right place.

Technical Standards & Equivalent Grades

HSC 500T Plate is engineered to offer ballistic and blast resistance equivalent to several global tactical-grade armor standards.

Standard / Grade Description
MIL-DTL-46100 (High Hardness Armor Plate) U.S. Army specification for ballistic steel
EN 1522 FB6 / FB7 European ballistic standards for infrastructure and vehicle protection
STANAG 4569 Level 2 / 3 NATO standard for light tactical vehicle and infrastructure armor
NIJ Level III / IV (Material-Level Equivalent) Suitable for body armor shields, wall panels, and vehicle protection (material-level equivalency based on thickness)

Note:
HSC 500T is a proprietary HIND brand grade from Hindustan Steel Corporation, designed for projects requiring both high hardness and improved toughness.

Thickness Range & Plate Sizes

We supply HSC 500T plates in various thicknesses and customizable dimensions, suitable for a wide range of armor fabrication projects.

Parameter Range
Thickness 6 mm to 50 mm
Width Up to 2500 mm
Length Up to 12000 mm
Custom Cut-to-Size Yes
CNC Drilling & Profiling Yes

Available as full-size sheets, cut-to-size panels, or pre-drilled component kits.

We also supply waterjet or plasma-cut parts based on your vehicle design drawings or building protection layouts.

Heat Treatment & Toughness

HSC 500T plates are processed through a controlled quenching and tempering cycle, ensuring:

  1. Higher toughness levels compared to regular high hardness plates
  2. Consistent surface hardness for reliable ballistic stopping power
  3. Excellent multi-hit capability for tactical vehicle and security wall use
  4. Good ductility for minimizing cracking under impact

Every batch undergoes hardness testing, and we can provide Charpy Impact Test Reports upon request for projects with impact energy absorption specifications.

Machining & Fabrication Advice

Due to its high hardness and superior toughness, fabricating HSC 500T requires careful handling.

Recommended Fabrication Tips:

Cutting:

  • Waterjet or plasma cutting is preferred
  • For critical ballistic areas, avoid excessive heat input

Drilling:

  • Use carbide tools with coolant flooding
  • Recommended low RPM with high feed rate

Welding:

  • Preheat (150–250°C) necessary for thicknesses above 10 mm
  • Use low hydrogen electrodes like E7018 or E10018
  • Post-weld stress relieving recommended for high-stress zones

Bending/Forming:

  • Feasible for thinner sections (up to 8 mm)
  • For thicker plates, prefer modular assembly over excessive bending

We also offer ready-to-install panels for clients needing fast project execution.
