Tougher with Every Strike — High Manganese Steel for Jaw Plates, Liners & Heavy Impact Components
When it comes to mining and crushing operations, your wear parts need more than just hardness — they need work-hardening strength that improves over time. That’s exactly what High Manganese Steel Plates deliver. With their unique ability to harden under stress, they’re the preferred choice for jaw crusher plates, cone liners, grizzly feeders, and impact hoppers.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply Hadfield-grade Manganese Steel Plates (ASTM A128 / DIN 1.3401 / X120Mn12) designed to handle high-impact zones in stone crushing plants, mineral processing units, and mining quarries.
Unlike AR or mild steel, manganese steel thrives under punishment. It starts soft (180–220 BHN) but hardens up to 550 BHN when subjected to repeated impact. This makes it ideal for crushers, where the steel is constantly pounded by hard stone, ore, and aggregate.
Key Benefits:
We supply high manganese steel plates and profiles for:
All parts are plasma cut, waterjet profiled, or CNC machined as per drawings. Ideal for Indian as well as imported crushing units (Metso, Sandvik, Terex, etc.).
Hadfield steel (named after Robert Hadfield) is the global standard for high-impact manganese alloy. Research published in Springer (2024) confirms that Hadfield steel outperforms both AR400 and chromium carbide overlays in crusher liner lifespan and fatigue resistance.
Premium casting suppliers like EB Castings and equipment OEMs like Ugur Crushers use similar grade compositions — because they’re built to take abuse.
At one of our client’s stone crusher units in Jharkhand, replacing AR400 liners with X120Mn12 manganese jaw plates increased lifespan from 6 to 14 weeks, reducing part change frequency by 57%.

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:
