Manganese Steel for Cement Plants

In Cement Plants, Where Heat Meets Impact — Manganese Steel Delivers

Cement plants are high-abrasion zones. From clinker crushers to drag chain conveyors, discharge hoppers to impact zones, cement equipment faces continuous wear from hot, sharp, and coarse materials. That’s where High Manganese Steel Plates shine.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply Hadfield-grade manganese plates (ASTM A128 / X120Mn12 / MN13) designed for the cement industry. These plates not only withstand high impact, but also work-harden under stress, making them ideal for the dynamic, abrasive, and shock-heavy environment of a cement plant.

Why Cement Plants Use Manganese Steel

  • Work-hardens up to 550 BHN – gets tougher with each impact
  • Survives continuous high-load impact from clinker, slag, and cement dust
  • Excellent gouging and shock resistance at heat-affected points
  • Resists cracking and distortion in vibrating or rotating equipment
  • Non-magnetic, rust-resistant, and low-maintenance

What Is High Manganese Steel?

Applications of Manganese Steel in Cement Machinery

We supply manganese steel liners and profiles for:

  1. Clinker Crushers – Jaw & Roller Plates
  2. Drag Chain Conveyor Liners
  3. Discharge Chute Plates
  4. Crusher Spider Caps & Arm Guards
  5. Preheater Cyclone Cone Liners
  6. Clinker Hopper Liner Plates
  7. Impact Aprons & Breaker Plates

All profiles are custom-cut via plasma, waterjet, or CNC, per your drawings or part numbers.

Cement Industry Use Case – Clinker Hopper Upgrade

A major cement producer in Chhattisgarh was facing frequent failures of their AR400-lined clinker hoppers, leading to bi-monthly shutdowns. After switching to MN13 Manganese Steel Liners, the replacement cycle extended to 7 months with:

  • 3.5x increased lifespan
  • 42% reduction in annual maintenance cost
  • Reduced downtime and wear particle contamination

Grades, Thickness & Custom Profiles

We supply all standard grades needed in cement applications:

Grade / Standard Typical Use Case
ASTM A128 / Gr. B2 Clinker impact zones
DIN 1.3401 / X120Mn12 High-shock crusher liners
MN13 Hopper, chutes, and drag chains
IS 276 Indian cement plant equipment
Property Value
Mn Content 11%–14%
Hardness (Base) 180–220 BHN
Hardness (In Use) Up to 550 BHN
Thickness Range 6mm to 60mm
Cutting & Machining Plasma, waterjet, CNC profiling

Why Manganese Steel > AR Plates in Cement Equipment

Feature Manganese Steel AR Steel (AR400/500)
Work Hardens on Impact Yes No
Impact Resistance Outstanding Moderate
Thermal Shock Resistance Better Prone to cracking
Crack Resistance High Brittle under load
Application Fit Crushers, Hoppers Flat abrasion zones

FAQs – Cement Industry Buyers

 It work-hardens under impact while resisting thermal cracking — ideal for rotating or vibrating components.

 MN13 is a high manganese Indian-grade steel with 12–14% Mn content, used in high-impact, low-friction zones.

 Yes, but for extremely high heat (>400°C), it should be used in rotating or shock-based applications, not static contact with direct flame.

Ready to Extend Your Clinker Crusher Life?
