High-Hardness Wear Plates for Severe Abrasion Applications
Introduction
TISCRAL is a high-hardness abrasion resistant steel plate designed for applications involving severe sliding abrasion and material wear. It is commonly used as an Indian alternative to imported high-hardness AR plates, where wear life is the primary performance requirement.
At Sharoff Steel Suppliers, TISCRAL plates are supplied for heavy-duty wear applications where standard wear steels are insufficient and higher hardness is required.
TISCRAL is a quenched and tempered wear-resistant steel plate, manufactured to achieve high and consistent hardness across the plate thickness by TATA Steel.
It is positioned between:
• Mild steel (IS 2062) and
• High-hardness AR plates (AR 400 / 450 / 500)
making it suitable for moderate wear applications where extreme hardness is not necessary.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Brinell Hardness | ~200 BHN |
Actual hardness depends on thickness and grade. Always confirm values from the MTC.
• High resistance to sliding and gouging abrasion
• Longer service life in high-wear zones
• Consistent hardness across plate surface
• Suitable for applications with moderate impact and wear
• Requires controlled fabrication practices
TISCRAL is typically chosen when wear rate reduction directly impacts plant productivity.
Mining & Bulk Material Handling
• Chutes and hoppers
• Transfer liners
• Crusher feed zones
Cement & Power Plants
• Clinker handling systems
• Coal and raw material chutes
• Ash handling wear components
Steel, Recycling & Heavy Industry
• Scrap handling bins
• Wear liners
• Impact zones with abrasive material flow
Due to higher hardness, TISCRAL plates require:
• Controlled cutting methods (plasma / laser preferred)
• Preheating during welding
• Proper consumables and welding procedures
• Adherence to minimum bending radii
Correct fabrication is essential to achieve expected wear performance.
Sharoff Steel Suppliers supplies TISCRAL plates in
• Plates
o Thickness: 6mm to 12mm
o Width: 1500mm
• Cut-to-size wear components
All supplies are supported with Mill Test Certificates (MTCs).
Before ordering TISCRAL plates, confirm:
• ✅ Required hardness range
• ✅ Wear severity and impact level
• ✅ Plate thickness and dimensions
• ✅ Fabrication method and welding capability
• ✅ MTC and traceability requirement
Correct specification avoids over-hardening or fabrication issues.
• Access to genuine TISCRAL wear plates
• Clear guidance on hardness vs application matching
• Honest comparison with Uttam Hard and AR 400+ grades
• Ability to combine TISCRAL with other AR brands and special steels
We help customers select right hardness for duty, not just highest number.
Is TISCRAL equivalent to AR 400?
No, TISCRAL typically falls within the 200 BHN hardness range.
Can TISCRAL be welded?
Yes, but controlled welding procedures and preheating are mandatory.
When should TISCRAL be used instead of SAIL HARD/ Uttam HARD?
TATA TISCRAL is generally available in 1500 width; hence such applications avoid wastages.
TISCRAL abrasion resistant plates are suited for severe wear environments where material loss directly affects operational efficiency. When selected and fabricated correctly, they deliver significant improvements in wear life.
At Sharoff Steel Suppliers, TISCRAL is supplied with application clarity, fabrication guidance, and dependable sourcing.
