The manganese steel plate is a specialty steel alloy containing 11-25% manganese, known for its high impact strength and resistance to abrasion in its hardened state. Popularly known as Hadfield steel, after its discoverer Sir Robert Hadfield, this material is a staple in heavy equipment, mining, and construction industries worldwide. The resilience of this alloy is further enhanced by integrating silico manganese and silicon manganese during smelting, improving both toughness and work-hardening properties.
The demand for manganese steel plate remains strong in global sectors such as mining, quarrying, cement, and railway, owing to technological advances in smelting and casting.
According to the Materials Today Magazine, the global push for sustainability and high-performance alloys is driving further research into value-added derivatives, including higher purity grades and the incorporation of microalloying elements. The rapid development of electric arc furnace and continuous casting techniques is anticipated to improve consistency and mechanical performance.

Shijiazhuang Chengda Wear Resistant Materials Co.,Ltd leverages years of R&D collaboration with international research institutes & industry leaders. The company's technical knowledge in manganese steel plate is reinforced through engagement with forums and publications such as:
A: Common grades include X120Mn12 (DIN 1.3401), ASTM A128, and high manganese steel variants such as Mn13 and Hadfield steel. These differ in manganese/carbon ratios and are selected based on wear and impact requirements.
A: Both silico manganese and silicon manganese are ferroalloy additives. Silico manganese increases deoxidation efficiency and improves tensile strength, work-hardening, and toughness of the finished plate, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
A: Typical thicknesses for manganese steel plate range from 4mm to 40mm, with widths up to 2500mm and custom cut-to-length options. Specific sizes may be tailored per OEM requirements.
A: Manganese steel plate is primarily used as a wear liner resisting severe sliding and impact (e.g., excavators, crushers), while high chrome hammer heads are optimal for impact crushing rotors where extremely high hardness and moderate toughness are required.
A: Main standards include ASTM A128/A128M for castings, EN 10095 for stainless and heat resisting steels, and relevant ISO/GB standards. Plates and components undergo ultrasonic inspection and mechanical testing for compliance.
A: Yes. However, due to its rapid work-hardening property, cutting or machining requires suitable carbide tools and low feeds. For welding, controlled heat input is essential to prevent brittleness at the HAZ (heat affected zone).
A: Service life assessment is based on standardized wear simulation (ASTM G65), in-field testing, and comparison with OEM wear part replacement cycles. Chrome content and microstructure uniformity are key influencing factors.
