Quard 600 Plate – Ultra High Hardness 600 HBW Wear Plate by NLMK

Quard 600 Plate is the hardest abrasion-resistant steel plate in the Quard series, manufactured by NLMK Clabecq (Belgium). With a nominal hardness of 600 HBW, it delivers unmatched wear life and impact resistance in environments where even AR550 or Quard 550 fall short. Designed for severe sliding, impact, and gouging wear, Quard 600 performs under extreme mechanical stress, offering both longevity and safety.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we are a recognized stockist and processor of original Quard 600 plates, available in India and for global export.

What is Quard 600 Plate?

Quard 600 is a quenched and tempered steel plate with ultra-high hardness and enhanced crack resistance, specifically engineered for high-impact applications like mining and defense.

Its precision-controlled chemistry and fine-grained microstructure ensure:

  • Surface hardness of 600 Brinell (±25)
  • Good toughness even at low temperatures
  • Bendability and weldability at high hardness
  • High strength-to-weight ratio for lighter structures

Applications of Quard 600 Wear Plates

Engineered for industries that push material wear to the limit. Quard 600 outperforms traditional AR500 or AR550 materials in both hardness and operational uptime.

Industries Using Quard 600

  1. Hard rock mining (ore processing, chute liners)
  2. Cement plants (inlet ducts, clinker hoppers)
  3. Shot blasting equipment liners
  4. Heavy-duty conveyor skirting
  5. Military armor: vehicle base plates, blast walls
  6. Scrap shears and demolition tools
