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.
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.

Yes. It’s often referred to as Hadfield steel due to its classic austenitic work-hardening properties.
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.
If your project demands plates that strengthen as they’re used, resist failure under stress, and cut down replacement costs — choose 12–14% Manganese Steel Plates from Hindustan Steel Corporation.

High Manganese Steel Plates are engineered for high-impact environments. These plates are the top choice for industries like mining, crushing, cement, quarrying, power generation, shot blasting, and agriculture, where wear resistance is critical.
We offer a full range of grades and specifications such as ASTM A128, DIN 1.3401 / X120Mn12, and 12–14% Mn steel for crushers, plowshares, and structural applications.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, our HIND MANGANESE plates are not just alternatives to international grades
Curious about how manganese steel behaves, whether it rusts, or how it compares with AR steel?
We are trusted exporters of high manganese steel plates to UAE, South Africa, Vietnam, Oman, and Southeast Asia, with custom cuts, seaworthy packaging, and all documentation included.
Our high manganese steel plates meet the strictest standards for abrasion resistance, impact toughness, and metallurgical reliability across industries.
Choosing between AR500, chromium carbide plates, and manganese steel? Want to know what makes Hadfield steel special, or how to cut and weld high manganese plates?
High manganese steel is unique among wear plates. It doesn’t just resist abrasion — it transforms under it. As it gets hit, it hardens. Here’s what technical buyers, engineers, and OEMs need to know:
