Abrasion Resistant Steel Plates – Rock Hard 400 / 450 / 500

High-performance abrasion-resistant steel plates, Rock Hard 400, 450, and 500, are designed to withstand wear and tear in harsh industrial settings. Compared to traditional steel, these plates greatly increase the service life of components and are perfect for applications involving continuous friction, impact, and wear. Rock Hard plates are ideal for industries including mining, earthmoving, construction, cement, and recycling because of their ideal design, which strikes a balance between hardness, toughness, and workability.

Grades and Their Benefits:

Grade Typical Hardness (HBW) Key Characteristics Applications
Rock Hard 400 ~400 HB Excellent abrasion resistance with good formability Liner plates, hoppers, buckets
Rock Hard 450 ~450 HB Enhanced wear resistance, high toughness Dump truck beds, chutes, screens
Rock Hard 500 ~500 HB Maximum wear life, suitable for the harshest environments Crusher parts, cutting edges, excavator blades
