Abrex 400 Plate is a globally recognized wear-resistant steel plate manufactured by NSSMC (Nippon Steel) in Japan. Known for its uniform hardness (~400 BHN), excellent surface finish, and toughness, it is widely used in mining, material handling, cement plants, and recycling sectors.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we also offer HIND HARD 400 — a cost-effective Indian alternative to Abrex 400, backed with mill certifications and cut-to-size service.
Abrex 400 is a through-hardened, abrasion-resistant plate designed to deliver 2–3 times the wear life of mild steel. Thanks to its low carbon chemistry, it offers better formability and weldability than many competing AR plates.
Abrex 400 is ideal for wear-intensive environments and can be used for:
Feature | Abrex 400 Plate | HIND HARD 400 Plate |
---|---|---|
Origin | Japan (NSSMC) | India (HSC) |
Hardness | ~400 BHN | ~400 BHN |
Formability | Excellent | Excellent |
Weldability | Preheat advised | Preheat advised |
Availability | Limited lead time | Ready stock |
Cost | Premium | Economical alternative |
For most OEM and wear part applications, HIND HARD 400 delivers equivalent performance — at a significant cost advantage.

Yes, Abrex 400 has superior finish, tighter hardness range, and is made by a Japanese mill, but it’s more expensive. Indian AR400 or HIND HARD 400 are good alternatives for most applications.
Yes. Preheat is recommended for thicknesses above 12 mm. Proper filler wire and technique are needed for best weld integrity.
Abrex 400 is an imported plate, and the price is 25–40% higher depending on size and quantity. HIND HARD 400 offers similar performance at a lower landed cost.
Yes. We offer custom profiling, drilled holes, beveled edges, and CNC cut parts based on your fabrication drawing.
Yes. We provide 3.1 MTC and optional TPI (BV, SGS, TUV) as required.
