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.
We supply manganese steel liners and profiles for:
All profiles are custom-cut via plasma, waterjet, or CNC, per your drawings or part numbers.
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:
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 |
| 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 |
We regularly supply manganese plates and crusher liners to:
We also export to Vietnam, Bangladesh, UAE, and Kenya for cement OEMs and contractors.
Hadfield-grade manganese steel (ASTM A128 / X120Mn12) performs best.
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.
If you’re tired of frequent breakdowns and liner failures in your cement plant, upgrade to HIND MANGANESE Steel Plates — built for abrasive, hot, and high-impact zones.

High Manganese Steel Plates are engineered for high-impact environments. These plates are the top choice for industries like mining, crushing, cement, quarrying, power generation, shot blasting, and agriculture, where wear resistance is critical.
We offer a full range of grades and specifications such as ASTM A128, DIN 1.3401 / X120Mn12, and 12–14% Mn steel for crushers, plowshares, and structural applications.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, our HIND MANGANESE plates are not just alternatives to international grades
Curious about how manganese steel behaves, whether it rusts, or how it compares with AR steel?
We are trusted exporters of high manganese steel plates to UAE, South Africa, Vietnam, Oman, and Southeast Asia, with custom cuts, seaworthy packaging, and all documentation included.
Our high manganese steel plates meet the strictest standards for abrasion resistance, impact toughness, and metallurgical reliability across industries.
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:
To support engineering teams, procurement heads, and OEM partners, we provide a range of downloadable documents, buyer tools, and certification support below.
