FAQ: Technical Terms in Manganese Steel Plate & Hammer Solutions
1. What is the typical chemistry of a Hadfield manganese steel plate?
Hadfield steel, a hallmark in manganese steel plate, usually contains 11-14% Mn, 1.0-1.4% C, and traces of Si & P. Its high austenitic structure ensures outstanding impact performance and self-hardening when abraded.
2. How does silico manganese differ from high manganese plate steel?
Silico manganese incorporates both manganese and higher silicon (~1.5-2.5%) for improved deoxidizing and mechanical strength. While high manganese steel plate targets max impact and work hardening, silico manganese excels in weldability and general structural applications.
3. Which international tests certify the wear life of your products?
Besides in-house wear and impact tests, we comply with ASTM G65 abrasion, ISO 6506 Brinell, and ISO 6892 tensile standards, often cross-tested by SGS and BV labs.
4. What product tolerances are achievable for custom plates?
Plasma/laser cut plates maintain ±1.0mm flatness and squareness, hole location ±0.5mm, as per ISO 9013/EN 10029 standards.
5. What is the recommended installation standard for replacement hammer heads?
Use branded fasteners to meet ANSI/ASME B18.2.1 and torque to spec; always check shaft surface per ISO 2768-m finish.
6. How is the service life of a hammer head determined?
Field-monitored via mean-time-between-failure (MTBF), microstructure checks, and post-service surface hardness (should show minimum 420HB in operating area).
7. Do you support third-party material validation?
Yes. SGS, BV, and TLS are routinely engaged for pre-shipment chemical, microstructure, and mechanical property validation with customer-witnessed inspection.
