Abrex 400 Plate – Reliable Wear Resistance with 400 BHN Hardness

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.

What is Abrex 400 Plate?

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.

  • Average Hardness: ~400 BHN
  • Excellent surface uniformity
  • Weldable, bendable & cuttable
  • Used globally in mobile and static wear applications

Applications of Abrex 400 Plates

Abrex 400 is ideal for wear-intensive environments and can be used for:

  1. Mining Equipment – Liner plates, truck bodies, loader buckets
  2. Material Handling – Hoppers, silos, conveyor wear strips
  3. Recycling & Demolition – Shredder parts, screens, grizzly bars
  4. Cement Plants – Impact walls, clinker chutes, drag chains
  5. Construction Equipment – Excavator arms, cutting edges, blades
