HIND MANGANESE for Plowshares – The Backbone of Agricultural Strength

Turning Earth, Harvesting Durability

When it comes to ploughing the hardest soils, not all steel survives the season. HIND MANGANESE for Plowshares is engineered to not only survive — but thrive — under abrasive, high-impact agricultural conditions.

Forged from 12–14% high manganese steel and hardened through use, these plates are ideal for ploughshares, tillers, rotary blades, and soil chisels that demand shock resistance, edge retention, and long wear life. Whether you’re in rice paddies, rocky black soil, or hard clay terrain, HIND’s plough-grade steel is your agronomic advantage.

What Is It?

HIND MANGANESE for Plowshares is a high-performance grade of austenitic manganese steel, manufactured to meet the daily punishment of ploughing, tilling, and land cutting. Supplied as plates, profiles, or parts, it’s the first choice of OEMs, tool fabricators, and agricultural cooperatives across India and export regions.

Why Manganese Steel for Agricultural Tools?

Feature Benefit in Field Use
12–14% Mn Work Hardening Surface hardens with each strike on soil
High Toughness Resists chipping even on rocky fields
Corrosion Resistance Ideal for wet, acidic, or flooded farm lands
Edge Retention Longer tilling performance with less sharpening
Weldability Can be hard-faced, reshaped, or reprofiled
