Quard 450 Wear Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plates

Champak Industries are one of the prominent Quard 450 Wear Abrasion Resistant Sheet Plates Suppliers, Manufacturer & Exporters. Quard 450 Plates is engaged in supply of Quard 450. Due to its optimal combination in hardness, strength and ductility, Quard 400 can be used in any application exposed to wear from various hard abrasives such as rocks, sand, minerals, scrap, waste or other aggressive materials.

Reading the description: Champak Industries is a stockist and supplier; Quard plate is made by its mill (NLMK, listed on this site under its former owner, Duferco). Some sentences on this page mention Quard 400; they apply equally to Quard 450. “Minimun” means minimum.

Quard 450 is easy to bend, cut, machine and weld (to some extent, it's like processing mild steel).

In all thicknesses Quard 450 is combined with an excellent surface finish and close thickness tolerances, providing your final application with a high quality look and accurate design fitting.

Quard 450 is ideal to be used in applications like: buckets, crushers, cutting edges, dump trucks, loaders, skips, sieves, feeders, measuring pockets, skips.

Hardness Quard get its high hardness and strength through a precise water quenching process.

The hardness is mainly controlled by the carbon content and by using accurate alloy compositions the scatter in hardness and other properties can be kept to a minimun.

The production process of Quard produces a lath type of martensitic structure of high hardness, strength and toughness, granting 100% through thickness hardening.

Quard 450 Plates: Purchasing Specification

RequirementWhat to specify
Brand and gradeQuard 450 Plates; state whether another brand of the 450 HBW class is acceptable.
Hardness450 HBW nominal on this page; confirm the guaranteed range for your thickness.
DimensionsThickness × width × length and the number of plates, or a cutting drawing. Sizes are confirmed at quotation.
ToughnessCharpy impact test temperature and minimum energy, where the part sees impact or cold service.
ProcessingCut-to-size parts, bending and edge preparation, with drawings and tolerances.
DocumentsEN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate with chemistry and hardness.

Quard 450 values: The chemistry and properties in these two tables, including the 370–430 HBW hardness range, are the Quard 400 values. Quard 450 has a higher hardness range, so ask for the Quard 450 datasheet before ordering.

Choosing Quard 450 Plates

Quard 450 Plates is in the 450 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.

ClassNominal hardnessTypical useForming and welding
400About 400 HBWDumper bodies, chutes, hoppers, screensCold bending and welding with normal care
450 (this page)About 450 HBWBuckets, liners and heavier wear partsLarger bending radii; preheat thicker sections
500About 500 HBWCutting edges, crusher and severe-abrasion linersLimited forming; strict cutting and welding procedures

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 Quard 450 Plates

Ore processing plant with conveyors and crushing equipment
Mining, quarrying and ore processing

Typical uses include buckets, crushers, cutting edges, dump trucks, loaders, skips and feeders. 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

RequirementWhat to identify in the order
Mill test certificateEN 10204 3.1 showing brand and grade, heat number, chemistry and hardness
Impact testCharpy test temperature and minimum energy, if required
TraceabilityHeat and plate number transferred to cut pieces

See the company’s Quality Policy for its published policy.

Quard 450 Plates: Frequently Asked Questions

01

What is Quard 450 Plates?

Quard 450 Plates is wear-resistant steel plate in the 450 Brinell hardness class, made by NLMK (listed on this site under its former owner, Duferco). It is used where abrasion shortens the life of ordinary structural steel.

02

What hardness does Quard 450 Plates have?

This page gives 450 HBW nominal. Hardness ranges can fall with thickness, so confirm the guaranteed range for your thickness on the mill’s datasheet.

03

Who makes this plate?

Quard plate is made by NLMK (listed on this site under its former owner, Duferco). The mill and heat number are shown on the mill test certificate.

04

Which thicknesses are listed?

This page does not list a thickness range; send the thickness you need and availability will be confirmed at quotation.

05

Is Quard 450 Plates the same as other 450 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.

06

Can Quard 450 Plates be bent?

Yes, by cold bending with larger punch radii and die openings than mild steel. Follow the mill’s minimum radius for the thickness and rolling direction.

07

Can Quard 450 Plates be welded?

Yes, with low-hydrogen consumables and the preheat and interpass temperatures the mill gives for the grade and combined thickness.

08

What is Quard 450 Plates used for?

Typical uses on this page include buckets, crushers, cutting edges, dump trucks, loaders, skips and feeders.

09

Which 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.
