| 41.0 – 50.0 | 0.74 | 0.48 |
Reading the chemistry: Element limits are given only for 21–40 mm plate; the other rows give carbon-equivalent limits (CE and Pcm) only, so ask for the full analysis for your thickness.
Tolerances
| Thickness | Thickness tolerance as per EN 10029. Narrower tolerances can also be offered. |
| Length and Width | Tolerances as per the requirements of EN 10029 |
| Flatness | Tolerances as per the requirements of EN 10029 Class N |
| Surface Properties | Tolerances as per the requirements of EN 10163-2, Class A Subclass 1 |
Welding & Cutting
| Welding Method | All conventional welding methods like manual electric welding, submerged arc welding, inert gas welding |
| Preheating (Welding & Cutting) | Maximum 200°C for thickness greater than 20 mm |
Preheating: This line means plate over 20 mm thick needs preheating for welding and cutting, with the preheat temperature not exceeding 200 °C. Follow the mill’s preheat table for the exact temperature.
Choosing ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India)
ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India) 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 ARCELOR 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 ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India)
Typical uses include crushers, truck-bed liners, buckets, hoppers, chutes and conveyor troughs. 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 |

ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India): Frequently Asked Questions
01What is ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India)?
ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India) is wear-resistant steel plate in the 500 Brinell hardness class, made by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India. It is used where abrasion shortens the life of ordinary structural steel.
02What hardness does ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India) 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?
ARCELOR plate is made by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India. The mill and heat number are shown on the mill test certificate.
04Which thicknesses are listed?
This page lists 6 – 50 mm. Availability for each size is confirmed at quotation.
05Is ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India) 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 ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India) 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 ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India) be welded?
Yes, with low-hydrogen consumables and the preheat and interpass temperatures the mill gives for the grade and combined thickness.
08What is ARCELOR 500 (Nippon Steel Make In India) used for?
Typical uses on this page include crushers, truck-bed liners, buckets, hoppers, chutes and conveyor troughs.
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.
