Security That Doesn’t Crack — Manganese Steel for Safes, Vaults & Lockers
When it comes to high-security lockers, cash safes, vault doors, and prison equipment, protection isn’t just about thickness — it’s about resistance to penetration, drilling, and impact. That’s where High Manganese Steel Plates excel.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply non-magnetic, high-toughness Hadfield-grade steel plates (MN13 / X120Mn12 / ASTM A128) used in anti-theft applications. These plates resist mechanical and ballistic attacks by hardening under impact — making them the ideal steel for safes, ATM lockers, prison doors, and secure vaults.
We supply manganese steel plates and components used in:
Each plate can be supplied in thicknesses as low as 2mm (for compact safes) and up to 20mm (for bank-grade lockers). All are cut-to-size and CNC profile-ready
As per HIC Plates, prison windows and anti-theft vaults have long relied on Hadfield manganese steel for its ability to deform, not break — absorbing shock without cracking or splitting. That same property now protects jewelry safes, luxury vaults, and ATM cash compartments.
From home security safe suppliers like Jai Bharat to defense locker applications in government tenders, MN13 grade plates are a quiet but critical backbone of protection.

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.
