As a cornerstone of industrial strength in Addis Ababa, Desta Steel proudly stands as your trusted manufacturer and supplier of high-performance steel. We specialize in providing premium 500 BHN sheets and plates, engineered to meet the most rigorous demands of Ethiopia’s growing construction and manufacturing sectors. Our commitment is to deliver not just a product, but reliable, durable solutions that form the backbone of essential infrastructure and heavy-duty machinery, supporting progress across the nation with unwavering quality and service.
These sheets and plates are defined by their impressive Brinell Hardness Number of 500, a key indicator of their exceptional resistance to abrasion and impact. This toughness is achieved through a carefully balanced composition and a specialized heat treatment process, resulting in a steel that offers superior mechanical properties. They possess a high yield and tensile strength, enabling them to withstand significant force and heavy loading without deforming, which is essential for long-lasting performance in punishing environments.

The remarkable durability of 500 BHN steel makes it the material of choice for a vast range of heavy-duty applications. It is extensively used in the construction of dump truck bodies and liners, earth-moving equipment buckets, and heavy machinery that faces constant wear. You will also find it in mining operations for chutes and hoppers, in agricultural machinery, and for reinforced concrete cutting edges. Essentially, wherever intense friction and impact are a daily challenge, these sheets and plates provide a critical layer of long-lasting protection.
