Manganese Steel for Agricultural Tools

Built for Blades, Designed for Dirt – Manganese Steel for Agriculture Tools

Agricultural tools face a unique challenge — they operate in abrasive soil, clay, gravel, roots, and rocky ground, day in and day out. Over time, even the toughest metal wears out. That’s why leading manufacturers now choose High Manganese Steel Plates to produce cultivator blades, tillers, ploughshares, sickles, hoes, and diggers.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply Mn13 and X120Mn12 grade manganese plates for heavy-duty agricultural tool production. These plates work-harden with use, giving your farm blades a longer life, sharper edge retention, and resistance to breakage in tough terrain.

Why Manganese Steel is Ideal for Farming Implements

  • Work-hardens up to 550 BHN — resists abrasion from sand, soil, and stones
  • Crack-resistant even when blades hit roots, hard patches, or metal debris
  • Non-magnetic, rust-resistant, and strong under repeated impact
  • Ideal for plough, sickle, rotary tiller, and hoe applications
  • Outlasts mild steel and regular boron steel in wet or abrasive soil

Agricultural Tools Made from Manganese Plates

We supply Mn steel plates for the manufacturing of:

  1. Ploughshares / Plow Tips
  2. Cultivator Shovels & Blades
  3. Rotary Tiller Blades
  4. Sickles & Scythe Blades
  5. Digging & Hoe Blades
  6. Disc Harrow Wear Edges
  7. Tractor Front Blade Edging

All products can be CNC profiled, plasma cut, or waterjet cut to shape, ensuring excellent fitting and reduced grinding/finishing effort.

Performance Example – Manganese Sickle Blade

A handheld sickle blade sold on Amazon India shows how even manual tools benefit from high manganese steel.

Its edge resists dulling, handles tree pruning, root cutting, and firewood processing, and holds its shape in wet or dry fields — properties applicable on a larger scale in rotary tillers and commercial tractors.

High Manganese vs Boron Steel in Farming Blades

According to a Tata Steel Nederland case study, while boron manganese steel is commonly used, Hadfield-grade manganese is better for impact-driven tools. It absorbs shock better, resists chipping, and avoids early failure in rocky or dry land conditions.

FAQs – For Farm Equipment Buyers

It is rust-resistant and ideal for muddy, wet, and clay-based terrains.

For impact-heavy tools (like tillers, ploughs), manganese outperforms boron steel in wear resistance and crack control.

 Plasma or waterjet cutting is recommended. Avoid manual machining once work-hardened.

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:
