Manganese Steel for Power Plants

Power Plants Run Hot, Fast & Hard — So Should Your Steel

In power generation — especially thermal, coal-fired, and biomass plants — wear and tear isn’t a possibility, it’s a guarantee. From coal crusher liners to ash handling ducts, from chute plates to turbine feed hoppers, materials constantly collide with metal. That’s why leading plant operators trust High Manganese Steel Plates for impact-heavy zones.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply Hadfield-grade manganese steel (ASTM A128, X120Mn12, MN13) for critical wear parts in Indian and international power plants — ensuring reduced downtime, longer part life, and reliable high-temperature impact resistance.

Why Manganese Steel Works in Power Generation

  • Work-hardens up to 550 BHN — gets tougher as it’s used
  • Absorbs high-impact coal and ash flow without chipping or cracking
  • Non-magnetic and highly resistant to abrasive erosion
  • Reduces shutdown frequency and part replacement cycles
  • Trusted for coal crushers, mills, feeders, and ducts

What Is High Manganese Steel?

Applications of Manganese Steel in Power Plant

We supply manganese steel plates and custom-cut profiles for:

  1. Coal Crusher Jaw & Cone Plates
  2. Chutes, Bins & Hopper Liners
  3. Ash Handling Pipe Elbows & Liners
  4. Feeder Plates and Drag Chain Liner Panels
  5. Soot Blower Impact Plates
  6. Scraper Blades in Biomass Boilers
  7. Boiler Outlet Ducts and Wear Pads

Every liner or plate is delivered cut-to-size, with edge prep, optional primer, and MTC certification.

Case Study: Coal Handling System Upgrade

A coal-fired thermal plant in West Bengal was facing frequent replacement of AR400 chute liners, causing 5–6 days of downtime every month. After switching to our X120Mn12 manganese plates, wear zones now last 4x longer, with:

  • 70% fewer replacements
  • 45% drop in maintenance cost
  • 30% improvement in plant uptime

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:
