DIN 1.3401 / X120Mn12 Manganese Steel Plates

Europe’s Standard for Extreme Wear — X120Mn12 / 1.3401 Manganese Steel Plates

When you need a wear-resistant plate that doesn’t just last—but strengthens under impact, X120Mn12 is the European standard you can trust. Also known as DIN 1.3401, this high manganese steel is equivalent to Hadfield steel and is the top choice for mining, shot blasting, cement, rail, and heavy machinery where extreme wear and shock resistance are critical.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply certified X120Mn12 plates and DIN 1.3401 sheets to OEMs, EPC contractors, and heavy equipment fabricators across India and export markets.

What is DIN 1.3401 / X120Mn12?

DIN 1.3401 (X120Mn12) is a non-magnetic, work-hardening austenitic manganese steel containing 11–14% manganese. It is known for its:

  • Excellent impact resistance
  • Exceptional gouging resistance
  • High ductility
  • Ability to harden up to 550 BHN during use

This steel is used in crushing, mining, shot blasting, and rail crossing components where standard AR steels fail under high impact.

Applications of X120Mn12 Steel Plates

Our DIN 1.3401 plates are used in industries such as:

  1. Mining – Jaw plates, liners, bucket edges, chutes
  2. Cement – Clinker drag chains, hoppers, and crusher liners
  3. Shot Blasting – Cabinet linings, wheel covers, deflector plates
  4. Railways – Crossing plates, frog points, rail components
  5. Agriculture – Ploughshares, tiller blades, harvesting edges
  6. Defense – Impact-resistant barriers, high-wear security plates

All parts can be cut-to-size, edge-prepped, or CNC profiled per your requirement.

Industry Use Case: Rail Crossing Plate Replacement

A metro rail contractor replaced standard carbon steel with X120Mn12 wear plates for frog points and crossing blocks. The result:

  • Replacement cycle increased from 4 months to 14+ months
  • Reduced failure rate at high-traffic junctions
  • Zero cracking under extreme cyclic loads

FAQs – For DIN 1.3401 / X120Mn12 Buyers

Both are similar in composition, but X120Mn12 is preferred in Europe and India for its uniform work-hardening and consistent surface finish.

Yes. Like all Hadfield steels, it is fully non-magnetic.

Yes, using plasma or waterjet. Weld with special electrodes and controlled cooling.
