Choudhary Metal ' is a specialist supplier and exporter of thick 400 HB and 500 HB wear resistant steel plates. We have Dillidur 400 and Dillidur 500 abrasion resistant plates in stock with a focus on heavier plates between 50mm to 150mm.

We understand customers whose requirement for wear resistant steel plate is extreme and who cannot use thinner abrasion resistant plates. Typical usages for our heavy 400HB plates are for penstock construction in the hydroelectric and mining industries.

Thick plates are also used for very large earth moving and excavating machines whose capacity to move huge tonnages requires a corresponding increase in the structural strength of the steel and its thickness.

Finally customers use the thinner wear resistant plates for the entire range of slide conveyors, chutes, silos, deflectors, screen plates, cutting edges, dump trucks and loading shovels that are required by the mining and construction industries.

WEAR RESISTANT STEEL PLATE SELECTIO
Table below shows some of the key characteristics of different wear resistant steel plates that are available with the Dillidur brand. Dillidur Impact has a 400HB rating and is carried in stock

We have customers those are typically engineering, procurement and construction companies who are undertaking large projects to deliver either mining or hydro-electric infrastructure. Typically the project owner is a western multinational or an organisation that is looking to reduce its long term operational costs by improved availability and reduced maintenance costs. Abrasion resistant plates purchased from European steel mills typically have better properties than those rolled by Chinese or Indian mills and the additional performance in durability and reduced maintenance more than offsets the higher steel price and transport costs.

The use of Dillidur wear resistant steel is ideal for these customers as they are able to rely on Dillinger's 325 years of experience in steel making in producing steels that can deliver performance over the long term in very tough environments. This is further supported by the experience of many of the world leading manufacturers of construction machinery, conveyor systems and processing plants who have consistently bought Dillidur and helped the 400 HB and 500HB steels become even better over time.

We are stocking thicker wear resistant plates up to 150 mm. We have a good selection of wear resistant steel plate across most common stock sizes. These are held in sufficient quantities to meet most common ex-stock requirements with no need for our customers to buy from multiple suppliers. We are also able to cut and profile abrasion resistant plates to meet customer's specific requirements.

There are no standards for wear resistant steel plate – the focus is on the plate hardness – equivalent grades aren't appropriate. However there are a number of different terms used

WEAR RESISTANT STEEL GRADES AVAILABLE EX-STOCK
These abrasion resistant steel grades are usually available ex-stock. The thicknesses are for indication only but we will usually have thicker plates available in most grades
