Overview – What is HIND HARD 400?
HIND HARD 400 Plate is a specially engineered abrasion resistant steel plate with a nominal hardness of 400 BHN, designed for medium-to-heavy wear applications. Manufactured under stringent quality control by Hindustan Steel Corporation, it offers a perfect balance between wear resistance, structural strength, and workability—making it ideal for use in dump trucks, excavator buckets, liners, chutes, and other high-friction industrial equipment.
Unlike generic 400 BHN plates, HIND HARD 400 is made with optimized chemistry, low carbon content, and consistent flatness, ensuring superior machinability, weldability, and long service life. It is stocked and supplied across India and globally under the HIND HARD brand umbrella—offering reliable performance at a lower landed cost than imported alternatives.
Whether your goal is to reduce replacement cycles or minimize machine downtime, HIND HARD 400 delivers dependable results in highly abrasive environments.
HIND HARD 400 Plate is trusted across a wide range of industrial sectors where durability and cost-effectiveness are critical:
