High Manganese Steel Plates – X120Mn12 | ASTM A128 | 12–14% Mn Plate Supplier in India

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.

High Manganese Steel Plates – X120Mn12 | ASTM A128 | 12–14% Mn Plate Supplier in India

What is High Manganese Steel Plate?

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.

Q&A

Applications Across Industries

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.

If your equipment takes a beating,

manganese steel is your best defense.

Types & Grades of High Manganese Steel Plates

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.

What Makes Them Different?

All grades are fully austenitic, non-magnetic, and come with test certificates, cut-to-size, and machining services.

Technical Specifications of High Manganese Steel Plates

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:

Thickness Range

  • Available from 3 mm to 100 mm
  • Cut-to-size options as per drawing or fitment requirement

Hardness

  • As-delivered (Annealed): ~180–220 BHN
  • Work-hardened under impact: Up to 500–550 BHN
  • Unlike AR plates, it becomes harder the more it is used

Mechanical Properties

PropertyValue Range
Tensile Strength850 – 1100 MPa
Yield Strength350 – 500 MPa
Elongation30 – 50% (excellent ductility)
Impact ResistanceVery high (even at sub-zero)

Machinability

  • NOT machine-friendly in hardened state
  • Use plasma cutting, waterjet, or abrasive sawing
  • Drilling & milling possible only in annealed condition

Weldability

  • Can be welded using low-hydrogen electrodes (e.g., E7018 or 18CrMn)
  • Preheating and slow cooling advised to avoid cracks
  • Post-weld grinding must be done carefully

Heat Treatment

  • Delivered in solution-annealed condition
  • Avoid quenching post-weld to retain toughness

Finish Available: Hot-rolled, pickled, shot-blasted, annealed

Need plates in custom cut sizes, beveled edges, or with bolt holes?

We offer CNC plasma cutting, profile shaping, and assembly-ready processing.

Buyer Journey Tips & Mistakes to Avoid – Manganese Steel Plates

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.

Top Buyer Tips for High Manganese Steel Plates

Tip #What to DoWhy It Matters
1️⃣Always verify the chemical compositionManganese content (11–14%) is non-negotiable. Lower grades fail fast.
2️⃣Ask for work-hardening application historyThe plate should suit crushers, impact tools, or liners – not general wear.
3️⃣Request MTC + 3rd party test reportsEspecially if you’re exporting or fabricating for defense/mining use.
4️⃣Match size with cutting facilityAvoid sourcing oversized plates if your vendor can’t profile or cut them.
5️⃣Clarify delivery lead timeNot all sellers maintain stock. Confirm dispatch timelines upfront.

Common Mistakes Buyers Should Avoid

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.

Still unsure which grade or thickness suits your job?

Talk to our tech support team before finalizing your purchase.
