ASTM A128 Manganese Steel Plates

When Impact Is Constant and Failure Is Not an Option — Choose ASTM A128 Plates

If you’re in the business of mining, cement, quarrying, or crushing, you already know that regular steel doesn’t last long in impact zones. That’s why industries worldwide rely on ASTM A128 Manganese Steel Plates — the internationally recognized standard for Hadfield steel, trusted for over 100 years.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we stock and supply ASTM A128 Grade B2 manganese plates, engineered to outperform traditional AR steels in impact-heavy, gouge-prone, and abrasive applications.

What is ASTM A128?

ASTM A128 is the American standard specification for austenitic manganese steel castings and rolled plates. It ensures strict control of manganese content (11–14%), impact strength, ductility, and work-hardening behavior.

Often compared to X120Mn12 and MN13, ASTM A128 Grade B2 is a benchmark for manufacturing:

  • Jaw plates
  • Crusher liners
  • Hopper chutes
  • Wear-resistant components in mining and cement equipment

Key Applications of ASTM A128 Plates

Our ASTM A128 manganese plates are widely used for:

  1. Jaw Crusher Fixed & Swing Plates
  2. Cone Crusher Bowl Liners
  3. Hopper & Chute Liners in Cement Plants
  4. Grizzly Bars and Crusher Aprons
  5. Agricultural Blade and Tiller Components
  6. Shot Blasting Liner Plates
  7. Drag Chain & Clinker Zone Linings

Each plate is available in custom sizes, with optional beveled edges, CNC profile cuts, and primer-coated finishes.

Why ASTM A128 Outperforms Regular Steel Plates

  • Work-hardens to 550 BHN under repeated impact
  • Absorbs shock loads better than AR400 or chromium carbide plates
  • High tensile strength and ductility
  • Resists gouging, cracking, and distortion
  • Delivers longer life at lower cost per wear cycle

Manufacturing

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:
