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.

We supply Mn steel plates for the manufacturing of:
All products can be CNC profiled, plasma cut, or waterjet cut to shape, ensuring excellent fitting and reduced grinding/finishing effort.
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.
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.

Need international dispatch? We export to Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka for farm blade manufacturers and tool resellers.
MN13 is a high manganese plate ideal for blades, diggers, hoes, and cutting tools in agriculture.
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.
If you’re a farm blade manufacturer or supplier looking to reduce wear and extend tool life, upgrade to HIND MANGANESE Steel Plates. Built to last, built for the land.

Choosing between AR500, chromium carbide plates, and manganese steel? Want to know what makes Hadfield steel special, or how to cut and weld high manganese 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:
