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.
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:
Our Hadfield manganese plates are widely accepted in American industries where impact + abrasion go hand in hand. Industries and applications include:
Our cut-to-shape Hadfield plates are compatible with both OEM fabrication and onsite repair projects across multiple US states.
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.
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.
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:
Processing Options:
Our fabrication-ready packaging ensures plates arrive in the USA damage-free, with rust-proof wrapping and palletized handling.
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:
This natural behavior makes Hadfield steel a cost-effective long-life option for high-wear applications.
Due to its austenitic structure, Hadfield steel needs special care during welding and machining:
We provide full fabrication data sheets and US-tested welding electrode recommendations for buyer support.
Here’s why buyers across Texas, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Michigan prefer us as their Hadfield steel plate partner:
We ensure not just steel—but safety, speed, and support for every USA order.
While Hadfield (11–14% Mn) is the most demanded, we also export:
We supply custom manganese steel variants based on impact rating, wear depth, and design loads.
Hindustan Steel Corporation has a strong supply track record to leading engineering and mining zones in the USA:
We handle port-to-door delivery via CIF, FOB, or DDP terms using reliable shipping partners, ensuring on-time, secure shipments.
When sourcing Hadfield plates for American industry, consider:
We recommend X120Mn12 or ASTM A128 for maximum impact zones. Our team guides buyers to select grade, thickness, and finish based on real-life use.
All our Hadfield plates are:
We also assist with Form A, COO, and custom clearance support for bulk shipments.
It’s widely used in crusher liners, rock chute wear plates, rail tracks, impact-resistant parts, and agriculture tools due to its work-hardening capacity.
Supplied in annealed state (200–220 BHN) and work-hardens to 500+ BHN under repeated impact loads.
Yes, both are equivalent austenitic high-manganese steels, commonly used across Europe and USA.
Yes, but use special austenitic manganese electrodes and avoid overheating. Preheat is not recommended.
For ready stock: 3–5 weeks door delivery via sea freight (DDP/CIF). Urgent air cargo possible for samples.
Yes, we cut and shape liners to buyer’s DXF/AutoCAD drawings, export-ready with palletized packaging.
MOQ is typically 1 metric ton, but project-based liner supply is also accepted.
Hadfield steel self-hardens and lasts longer under impact; unlike fixed hardness wear plates, it adapts to load.
Yes, we regularly deliver DDP to Houston, Long Beach, Newark, and Miami with customs clearance.
Absolutely. We supply OEM-ready liners to the aggregate, cement, rail, and marine sectors in the US.
No, Hadfield grade is non-magnetic, ideal for sensitive machinery or magnet-based handling systems.
ASTM A128 / DIN 1.3401 / EN X120Mn12 — all stocked and marked accordingly.
Yes. All plates come with full EN 10204 3.1 MTC showing composition and hardness.
Yes, austenitic Hadfield steel retains ductility at sub-zero temps, making it ideal for cold regions.
Yes, we offer Form A, COO, Bill of Lading, Test Reports, and HS code support for smooth export compliance.
