Manufacturers create high manganese steel plates by adding manganese to a base metal like carbon steel or alloy steel. This creates a material with an incredibly high level of wear resistance and tensile strength higher than that found in most conventional steels. The addition of manganese also gives these plates excellent hardenability and shock absorption capabilities. High Manganese Steel Plates are composed of steel containing 11% to 14% manganese. The material’s high wear resistance and toughness make it an ideal choice for various applications in a range of industries. Many industries that require wear-resistant parts widely use it, including mining, construction, and metallurgy.
High manganese steel plate provides superior performance over other types of steel due to their unique properties. Firstly, they have exceptional wear resistance because the combination of high-manganese content with heat treatment results in a surface hardness of up to 500 HBW (Brinell hardness) while still retaining its formability. This allows them to withstand friction, abrasion, shock loading, and other forms of damage that would normally break down conventional steel components. Additionally, high-manganese steels possess great corrosion resistance thanks to their low carbon content and ability to form a protective layer on the plate’s surface when exposed to moisture or humidity.
Due to its exceptional properties, high manganese steel plates are widely used in many different industries. Some of the most common applications include crusher jaws, buckets teeth, and lips, excavator buckets, and blades, as well as grinding rolls and hammers. Manufacturers can use it to make drill bits and cutting tools for heavy machinery parts like draglines or shovels. Besides these examples, manufacturers can use the material for casting tools like molds or die for metalworking processes such as forging or stamping. Shipbuilders commonly use the material because of its excellent corrosion resistance properties. Due to this property, these products can last longer than other materials when exposed to salt water and other corrosive elements found in marine environments. This makes them an ideal choice for any marine application where corrosion resistance is a must-have feature.
