Choosing Rockstar 500 Plates
Rockstar 500 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 Rockstar 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 Rockstar 500 Plates
Typical uses include buckets, cutting edges, mining wear parts, feeders and funnels. 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 |

Rockstar 500 Plates: Frequently Asked Questions
01What is Rockstar 500 Plates?
Rockstar 500 Plates is wear-resistant steel plate in the 500 Brinell hardness class, made by Essar Steel India, now ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India. It is used where abrasion shortens the life of ordinary structural steel.
02What hardness does Rockstar 500 Plates have?
This page gives 450 – 540 HBW. Hardness ranges can fall with thickness, so confirm the guaranteed range for your thickness on the mill’s datasheet.
03Who makes this plate?
Rockstar plate is made by Essar Steel India, now ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India. The mill and heat number are shown on the mill test certificate.
04Which thicknesses are listed?
This page lists 3 – 80 mm. Availability for each size is confirmed at quotation.
05Is Rockstar 500 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 Rockstar 500 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 Rockstar 500 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 Rockstar 500 Plates used for?
Typical uses on this page include buckets, cutting edges, mining wear parts, feeders and funnels.
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?
