Buy AR500 steel plates (500 BHN) for ballistic, mining, and heavy impact use. Cut-to-size, export-ready supply from India’s trusted HIND HARD brand.
AR500 Plates are abrasion-resistant steel plates engineered for extreme impact, sliding, and ballistic applications. With a nominal hardness of 500 BHN (Brinell Hardness Number), AR500 is a go-to material for industries demanding superior wear resistance — such as mining, defense armor, and heavy-duty targets.
Unlike regular carbon steel, AR500 is heat-treated through a quenching and tempering process to deliver both surface hardness and structural toughness. This makes it capable of absorbing shock loads without cracking, while resisting gouging, cutting, and surface erosion over time.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply AR500 in mill finish, ground finish, or custom-cut sizes under our HIND HARD series — available with MTC, thickness verification, and export-ready packaging.

Indian Buyers in:
Yes, AR500 is commonly used in level 3 and level 4 armor setups, but ballistic certification depends on final testing and plate configuration.
Yes, AR500 can be welded with proper preheat and low hydrogen rods. Avoid overheating to prevent brittleness.
For pistol-rated targets, 6–10mm AR500 is suitable. For rifle-rated targets, 12mm+ AR500 is recommended.
Yes. HIND HARD 500 by Hindustan Steel Corporation offers similar hardness, better price, and is available with full traceability.
