12-14% Mn Steel Plate

Tougher With Every Hit — 12–14% Manganese Steel Plates for High-Impact Applications

When your application calls for unmatched shock resistance and abrasion control, 12–14% Manganese Steel Plates are the global standard. These plates are widely known as Hadfield Steel, engineered to get stronger the more you use them.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply 12–14% Mn content plates for crushers, power plants, cement chutes, shot blasting liners, plough blades, and mining equipment. Our plates are non-magnetic, crack-resistant, and available in cut-to-size options with immediate delivery across India and exports worldwide.

What is 12–14% Manganese Steel?

12–14% Mn steel is an austenitic, work-hardening steel that becomes harder with repeated impact and pressure. This unique property allows it to outperform traditional wear plates in harsh and high-friction environments.

    • Manganese content ensures work-hardening up to 550 BHN
    • Soft enough to machine in delivery state, tough enough to last in service
  • Fully non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, and ductile

FAQs – For 12–14% Manganese Plate Buyers

It’s used in jaw plates, cones, and liners that face continuous impact from hard stone or ores.

Yes, in its delivered state. After hardening in service, it should be plasma or waterjet cut.

Ask for the MTC (Mill Test Certificate) with composition, and rely on reputed suppliers like Hindustan Steel Corporation.
