Plates That Get Tougher Under Pressure – That’s Manganese Steel
Where most steels wear out, high manganese steel plates harden and fight back. These 12–14% Mn plates are built for high impact and abrasion environments — delivering unmatched durability in crushers, shot blast machines, agricultural tools, and even armor protection.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply 100% austenitic Hadfield-type manganese steel plates, including X120Mn12 and ASTM A128 standards, across India, UAE, Vietnam, South Africa, and beyond. Backed by cut-to-size processing, test certifications, and application guidance, our manganese plates are trusted by heavy industries for their work-hardening, weldability, and resistance to distortion.
If your equipment faces impact, we supply the shield.
A high manganese steel plate is a non-magnetic, austenitic alloy steel that contains 12–14% manganese and 1–1.4% carbon — making it exceptionally tough, ductile, and resistant to impact and abrasion. The more stress or shock it receives, the harder the surface gets — a property known as work-hardening.
These plates were originally developed by Sir Robert Hadfield and are still referred to as Hadfield manganese steel. Unlike regular wear plates, manganese steel does not crack under shock — making it ideal for crusher jaws, hammer heads, dragline buckets, earthmoving blades, armor panels, and agricultural tools.
Where Is High Manganese Steel Used?
Manganese steel is the go-to material for high-impact zones, especially where sliding or compressive wear causes other steels to deform or crack. It’s used where you need steel that doesn’t just survive punishment — it gets stronger from it.
Jaw plates, liner plates, grizzly bars, hammers, and mantles that can withstand stone impact and ore friction.
Feed chutes, screening parts, and vibrating liners used in quarrying operations.
Plowshares, cultivator blades, and wear shoes for tractors and tilling equipment.
Sinter fans, clinker crusher liners, and transfer chute liners where bulk materials hit hard and fast.
Cabinet linings, table liners, impeller blades, and venturi tubes in blasting machines.
Safe walls, vault doors, and high-strength storage units that require both strength and tamper resistance.
manganese steel is your best defense.
What Types of High Manganese Steel Are Available?
We supply high manganese steel plates in multiple international and Indian grades — most conforming to ASTM A128, IS 276, X120Mn12, and Hadfield specifications. All these grades deliver extraordinary work-hardening, crack resistance, and impact endurance.

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:
Property | Value Range |
Tensile Strength | 850 – 1100 MPa |
Yield Strength | 350 – 500 MPa |
Elongation | 30 – 50% (excellent ductility) |
Impact Resistance | Very high (even at sub-zero) |
Finish Available: Hot-rolled, pickled, shot-blasted, annealed
We offer CNC plasma cutting, profile shaping, and assembly-ready processing.

Don’t Let Manganese Plate Buying Become a Gamble.
Whether you’re an OEM, reseller, or contractor, choosing high manganese steel without proper checks can cost you time, money, and production delays. Use these practical tips to make smarter buying decisions — and avoid the mistakes we’ve seen over 500+ manganese steel projects.
Tip # | What to Do | Why It Matters |
1️⃣ | Always verify the chemical composition | Manganese content (11–14%) is non-negotiable. Lower grades fail fast. |
2️⃣ | Ask for work-hardening application history | The plate should suit crushers, impact tools, or liners – not general wear. |
3️⃣ | Request MTC + 3rd party test reports | Especially if you’re exporting or fabricating for defense/mining use. |
4️⃣ | Match size with cutting facility | Avoid sourcing oversized plates if your vendor can’t profile or cut them. |
5️⃣ | Clarify delivery lead time | Not all sellers maintain stock. Confirm dispatch timelines upfront. |
It behaves very differently – hardens under impact, and is non-magnetic.
Manganese steel requires special electrodes and techniques. Ask before fabrication.
Especially risky for OEMs, safety parts, and exports.
Microstructure, grain quality, and resilience can vary drastically.
