Product type
Manganese steel, also known as Hadfield steel, is a high-carbon steel alloy containing approximately 12-14% manganese. This unique composition gives it exceptional wear resistance and impact strength, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. The steel is typically used in environments where high impact and abrasion resistance are necessary, such as in the mining, construction, and railway industries.
| Carbon content | 1.0 to 1.4% |
| Manganese content | 12 to 14% |
| Hardness | Typically 200 to 600 HB |
| Tensile strength | Approximately 800 to 1,200 MPa |
| Elongation | Around 20 to 30% |
When selecting manganese steel, buyers should consider the specific application requirements, such as the desired hardness and impact resistance. It's important to specify the carbon and manganese content, as well as any relevant certifications or standards required for the intended use. Quantities can vary based on project needs, so providing an estimated volume will help suppliers offer accurate quotes.
