Champak Industries' is a specialist supplier and exporter of thick 500BHN wear resistant steel plates. We understand customers whose requirement for wear resistant steel plate is extreme and who cannot use thinner abrasion resistant plates.
500BHN Plates: Purchasing Specification
| Requirement | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Brand and grade | 500BHN Plates; state whether another brand of the 500 HBW class is acceptable. |
| Hardness | 500 BHN nominal on this page; confirm the guaranteed range for your thickness. |
| Dimensions | Thickness × width × length and the number of plates, or a cutting drawing. Sizes are confirmed at quotation. |
| Toughness | Charpy impact test temperature and minimum energy, where the part sees impact or cold service. |
| Processing | Cut-to-size parts, bending and edge preparation, with drawings and tolerances. |
| Documents | EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate with chemistry and hardness. |
450BHN Abrasion Resistant, Alloy Wear Plate
500 BHN alloy wear plate is a leader in abrasion resistant severe service applications. It is different from commercial grade wear plates. The most recognized names in wear products. You will see the symbol of the Rhino in maintenance installations around the world.
Made in controlled heat lots, that combines unique chemistry and special thermal processing to ensure user-friendly fabrication.
Text from another supplier: The first section was copied from another company’s description of its own wear plate; the Rhino symbol belongs to that company, not to Champak Industries, and the sentence “Only when is specified” is missing that company’s brand name. The plate supplied is identified by the mill and grade on the certificate.
Heading: The heading above says 450BHN; this page covers 500 BHN plate.
Choosing 500BHN Plates
500BHN Plates is in the 500 HBW hardness class. Higher hardness generally lasts longer against sliding abrasion but is harder to bend, cut and weld; where parts also take heavy impact, a tougher, lower class can last longer.
| Class | Nominal hardness | Typical use | Forming and welding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400 | About 400 HBW | Dumper bodies, chutes, hoppers, screens | Cold bending and welding with normal care |
| 450 | About 450 HBW | Buckets, liners and heavier wear parts | Larger bending radii; preheat thicker sections |
| 500 (this page) | About 500 HBW | Cutting edges, crusher and severe-abrasion liners | Limited forming; strict cutting and welding procedures |
Other BHN classes
Brands of the same class are comparable, not identical; confirm any substitution with the end user. See all brands on Wear Resistant Plates.
Applications for 500BHN Plates
Typical uses include chain conveyors, chutes, bucket liners, truck bed liners, hoppers and mixer blades. Tell us the abrasive material, impact level and the life of the current part so the right class can be quoted.
Cutting, Fabrication and Welding
Champak Industries describes full and part plate/profile supply and a plasma-cutting service. Thermal cutting softens a narrow edge zone, and thick or hard plate may need preheat before cutting. Weld with low-hydrogen consumables and the mill’s preheat and interpass limits; do not heat the plate above the mill’s tempering limit. See AR Plates for bending and drilling guidance.
Testing, Inspection Documents and Traceability
| Requirement | What to identify in the order |
|---|---|
| Mill test certificate | EN 10204 3.1 showing brand and grade, heat number, chemistry and hardness |
| Impact test | Charpy test temperature and minimum energy, if required |
| Traceability | Heat and plate number transferred to cut pieces |

What Determines the Quotation?
Brand, hardness class, thickness, plate size, quantity, cutting, testing and packing all affect the quotation. Say whether pricing is needed per kilogram, per plate or per finished piece.
Packing, Dispatch and Export Requirements
Give the delivery address, required date and unloading constraints. For export orders, include the destination port, delivery terms and document list.
500BHN Plates: Frequently Asked Questions
01What is 500BHN Plates?
500BHN Plates is wear-resistant steel plate in the 500 Brinell hardness class, ordered by hardness class, with the mill named on the certificate. It is used where abrasion shortens the life of ordinary structural steel.
02What hardness does 500BHN Plates have?
This page gives 500 BHN nominal. Hardness ranges can fall with thickness, so confirm the guaranteed range for your thickness on the mill’s datasheet.
03Who makes this plate?
BHN 500 is a hardness-class name used by several mills. The mill supplying your order is named on the mill test certificate.
04Which thicknesses are listed?
This page does not list a thickness range; send the thickness you need and availability will be confirmed at quotation.
05Is 500BHN Plates the same as other 500 HBW wear plates?
Wear plates of the same hardness class are comparable, not identical. Chemistry, toughness and processing advice differ by mill, so confirm any substitution with the end user.
06Can 500BHN Plates be bent?
Only with large bending radii and die openings, as 500-class plate has limited formability. Follow the mill’s minimum radius for the thickness.
07Can 500BHN Plates be welded?
Yes, with low-hydrogen consumables and the preheat and interpass temperatures the mill gives for the grade and combined thickness.
08What is 500BHN Plates used for?
Typical uses on this page include chain conveyors, chutes, bucket liners, truck bed liners, hoppers and mixer blades.
09Which certificate should I request?
An EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate showing the brand and grade, heat number, chemistry and hardness, plus impact results where you specify a test temperature.
10How do I get a price and delivery date?
Send the brand and grade, thickness, size or cutting drawing, quantity, destination and required date through the enquiry form below, by WhatsApp or by phone.
