Premium 11–14% Mn Steel Plates for Impact, Abrasion, and Work Hardening Applications

Hindustan Steel Corporation is a trusted exporter and stockholder of HADFIELD Grade Manganese Steel Plates (11–14% Mn), extensively used in high-impact and high-abrasion industries across the USA. Our USA-bound supply features ASTM A128 Grade A/B, X120Mn12, and DIN 1.3401 equivalents, offered in cut-to-size, profiled, and custom thickness options. Whether you are a mining operator in Arizona, a cement plant in Texas, or a shot blasting equipment manufacturer in Ohio, we provide ready-to-ship Hadfield steel plates with mill test certifications, US-compliant documentation, and shortest lead times.

From bulk liners and grizzlies to earthmoving teeth and crushers, our Hadfield plates are built to withstand the toughest mechanical wear, thanks to their exceptional work hardening behavior and non-magnetic nature.

What Is Hadfield Steel Plate? (ASTM A128 Grade) Explained

Hadfield steel is a high-manganese austenitic steel developed by Robert Hadfield in 1882. It is characterized by a manganese content of 11–14%, which gives the material outstanding wear and impact resistance, along with a unique ability to harden under stress.

Designated under ASTM A128, X120Mn12, or DIN 1.3401, Hadfield plates are non-magnetic in their annealed state and develop surface hardness levels of 500+ BHN upon repeated impact. This makes them ideal for liners, blades, teeth, buckets, dozer parts, railway track switches, and hoppers.

Common alternative trade names include:

  • Mangalloy Plate
  • 11–14% Mn Steel
  • Work-Hardening Manganese Steel
  • Austenitic Manganese Steel Plate

Industries in USA Using Hadfield Grade Plates for Heavy-Duty Applications

Our Hadfield manganese plates are widely accepted in American industries where impact + abrasion go hand in hand. Industries and applications include:

  1. Mining & Quarrying: Crusher liners, screen plates, hoppers
  2. Cement Plants: Chutes, hammers, clinker breaker liners
  3. Railway Maintenance: Frogs, points, crossing plates
  4. Earthmoving Equipment: Bulldozer blades, bucket teeth
  5. Shot Blasting Machines: Liners, wear parts
  6. Steel Plants: Scrap handling, ladle doors, slag chutes
  7. Defense: Armoring and blast shields (in specific specs)

Our cut-to-shape Hadfield plates are compatible with both OEM fabrication and onsite repair projects across multiple US states.

HADFIELD Plate Properties – Why It’s Preferred Over Conventional Wear Plates

Hadfield steel remains unbeaten in its category due to its unique self-hardening nature and ability to deform without cracking. Below are key properties that make it indispensable for impact environments:

Property Value / Description
Manganese Content 11–14% Mn
Yield Strength ~350 MPa
Ultimate Tensile Strength ~850–1100 MPa
Hardness (Annealed) 200–220 BHN
Work-Hardened Surface Up to 500–550 BHN
Microstructure Austenitic (Non-Magnetic)
Impact Resistance Excellent
Weldability Moderate (special rods needed)

Because it resists gouging, shattering, and cracking under mechanical stress, Hadfield steel outlasts traditional carbon and alloy wear plates, especially in environments where repeated impact is a concern.

Equivalent Standards & International Grades of Hadfield Plate

We supply HADFIELD grade plates conforming to multiple global standards, allowing seamless integration into your US-based specs and OEM part replacements. Our equivalents include:

Standard Grade
ASTM A128 Grade A / Grade B
DIN 1.3401
EN X120Mn12
BS 3100 B2
JIS G5151 SCMnH11

These equivalents are chemically and mechanically compliant for impact applications in crushers, wear plates, and liners—with full MTCs and heat traceability.

Plate Sizes, Thickness, and Processing Capabilities

We maintain ready stock of Hadfield steel plates in thicknesses ranging from 6mm to 50mm, with cut-to-length, shearing, and profile cutting services available.

Available Sizes:

  • Thickness: 6mm to 50mm
  • Width: 1250mm, 1500mm, 2000mm
  • Length: 3000mm to 6300mm
  • Custom profiles: As per drawing (DXF/CAD accepted)

Processing Options:

  • Waterjet or Plasma Cutting
  • Shearing
  • Bevelling
  • Weld Prep
  • Custom Part Cutting (bucket liners, grizzlies, etc.)

Our fabrication-ready packaging ensures plates arrive in the USA damage-free, with rust-proof wrapping and palletized handling.

Supplied in Annealed State with Work-Hardening Ability

Hadfield plates are exported in annealed condition (~200 BHN), ready for machining or fabrication. Once installed and exposed to service loads or impact, the surface work-hardens to ~500+ BHN, forming a protective shell.

Key Behavior:

  • Initial Softness allows shaping, bending, and forming
  • Self-Hardens under impact, enhancing life span
  • No surface treatments required—hardness develops naturally
  • Perfect for auto-hardened wear zones

This natural behavior makes Hadfield steel a cost-effective long-life option for high-wear applications.

Fabrication, Machining, and Welding Guidelines

Due to its austenitic structure, Hadfield steel needs special care during welding and machining:

  • Welding: Use austenitic manganese electrodes or EFeMn-A; avoid high heat input
  • Machining: Only in annealed state, using carbide tools
  • Drilling: Possible with rigid setups and coolant
  • Cold Working: Highly ductile and formable before work-hardening

We provide full fabrication data sheets and US-tested welding electrode recommendations for buyer support.
