Rockstar 500 Plates

Rockstar 500 plates are high-strength and abrasion-resistant steel plates manufactured by Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). Here’s an overview of Rockstar 500 plates:

1. **Material Composition**: Rockstar 500 plates are made from a combination of high-quality steel and alloying elements such as carbon, manganese, chromium, boron, and others. These elements are carefully balanced to provide high hardness, strength, and toughness.

2. **Properties**:

   - **High Hardness**: Rockstar 500 plates typically have a Brinell hardness of around 500 HBW (Brinell Hardness Number).

   - **Excellent Abrasion Resistance**: They are designed to withstand severe abrasion and wear in harsh industrial environments.

   - **High Strength**: Rockstar 500 plates offer high strength and impact resistance, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.

   - **Weldability**: Despite their high hardness, Rockstar 500 plates are weldable using conventional welding methods, although preheating and post-weld heat treatment may be required depending on plate thickness and application.

3. **Applications**:

   - **Mining Equipment**: Rockstar 500 plates are commonly used in the manufacturing of mining truck bodies, bucket liners, and excavator shovel components.

   - **Quarrying**: They are used in quarrying equipment such as crusher liners, grizzly bars, and screens.

   - **Construction Machinery**: Rockstar 500 plates find applications in construction machinery subjected to abrasive wear, such as dump truck bodies and wear plates.

   - **Recycling**: They are also used in recycling machinery for shredder blades, conveyor chutes, and hoppers.

4. **Availability**: Rockstar 500 plates are available in various thicknesses and dimensions to suit different application requirements in heavy industries. They are typically supplied with mill test certificates to ensure compliance with specified mechanical properties.

**Price Information**:

Pricing for Rockstar 500 plates can vary based on several factors:

- **Thickness and Dimensions**: Thicker plates and larger sizes generally command higher prices due to increased material costs and manufacturing complexity.

- **Quantity**: Bulk orders often result in discounted prices per unit due to economies of scale.

- **Supplier**: Prices may vary between suppliers based on their overhead costs, delivery terms, and market conditions.

- **Market Demand**: Prices can fluctuate based on global steel market trends and raw material costs.

For specific pricing, it is recommended to contact steel suppliers or distributors who specialize in abrasion-resistant steel plates. They can provide quotes based on your specific requirements and volume needs.
