RockHard 500 Plate – Ultra-Hard Abrasion Resistant Steel Plate for Severe Wear

RockHard 500 Plates are engineered for extreme abrasion and high-impact resistance, with a nominal hardness of 500 BHN. Built to withstand some of the world’s most punishing environments, this grade is ideal for use in mining, quarrying, cement plants, and defense applications — where downtime due to wear failure is not an option.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we stock and supply both imported RockHard 500 plates and our Indian-made alternative — HIND HARD 500, with cut-to-size processing, guaranteed hardness, and global dispatch support.

What is RockHard 500 Plate?

RockHard 500 is a quenched and tempered steel plate designed for wear-intensive operations. It offers a nominal surface hardness of 500 Brinell (BHN) and is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing plate thickness without compromising durability.

Why Choose RockHard 500?

  • Exceptional abrasion resistance in high-load zones
  • Longer service life than AR400 or AR450
  • Suitable for heavy-duty welding, bolting, and forming
  • Reduces maintenance cycles and operational costs

Common Applications of RockHard 500 Plates

RockHard 500 excels in operations involving abrasive media, repeated impact, and large payloads. Common applications include:

  1. Mining Equipment: Excavator buckets, rock truck beds, chute liners
  2. Cement & Quarry Plants: Crusher liners, hopper walls, cyclone inlets
  3. Material Handling: Silo interiors, screw conveyors, drag chains
  4. Defense Armor Systems: Structural and spall liner protection
  5. Earthmoving Attachments: Blades, rippers, grabs
  6. Recycling Plants: Shredder hammers, impact walls

RockHard 500 vs Other Wear Plate Grades

Grade BHN (Hardness) Ideal Use
RockHard 400 ~400 General abrasion and light wear zones
RockHard 450 ~450 Moderate impact & sliding wear
RockHard 500 ~500 Extreme abrasion + impact areas
Abrex 500 / Quard 500 ~500 Comparable performance, higher cost
HIND HARD 500 ~500 Indian equivalent to RockHard 500
