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.
We supply manganese steel plates and custom-cut profiles for:
Every liner or plate is delivered cut-to-size, with edge prep, optional primer, and MTC certification.
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:

Hadfield manganese steel (ASTM A128, X120Mn12) is best for high-impact, abrasive zones.
Yes. It’s ideal for ash duct liners, scraper blades, and discharge chutes.
Typically 8 mm to 20 mm depending on impact severity.
Yes — in indirect flame zones where impact + erosion is the concern.
If you’re tired of frequent wear plate failures and emergency shutdowns, it’s time to upgrade to HIND MANGANESE Steel Plates — built for India’s toughest energy environments.

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.
