12% to 14% manganese steel plate suppliers. This high manganese grade is an excellent work hardening, abrasion resistant steel. This steel is a non magnetic austenitic type, supplied in full plates or as profiled pieces by plasma cutting. Suitable for wear applications where high impact/gouging abrasion leads to a work hardening effect. Manganese Steel Services
Manganese Steel - Stockholders and Suppliers Suppliers of high manganese steel plate to specification X120Mn12 and 1.3401. As a high manganese steel grade it offers excellent work hardening properties. High manganese steel plate becomes increasingly hard when the surfaces of components are subject to repeated impact or abrasion. Its toughness, derived from high tensile strength and ductility, enables shock leads to be absorbed safely. Lack of lubrication or the intrusion of grit or sand particles does not seriously impair the wearing surfaces of components in contact. These characteristics combine to make high manganese steel plate an ideal steel for use as wearing plates in those situations where abrasion, impact, or lubrication difficulties are encountered. The steel has the unique property in service of rapidly developing a work hardened surface whilst retaining its tough interior.We welcome export enquiries for manganese steel.

Form of Supply High manganese steel is supplied in plate. It can be supplied as full plates or plasma cut to your specific requirements.
Applications The rapidity with which X120Mn12 work hardens make this steel grade suitable for applications where the components must resist wear under conditions of sliding contact, often coupled with heavy pressure and repeated impact. Typical applications are wearing plates, stone or iron chutes, industrial trackwork, anti drill plates such as security doors, shot blasting equipment and tumbling machines.Cutting If a good edge quality is required plasma arc or laser cutting processes are recommended. Flame cutting is possible but the edge quality is poor. It is possible to shear high manganese steel plate but the blades and machine should be in good condition and the shear should not be operated close to its maximum rated capacity. Forming Forming can be carried out without difficulty, as the plate in the supplied condition is ductile. To avoid cracking, edges which have been work hardened by shearing should have a 2mm to 3mm chamfer ground along the edge to be formed. To avoid work hardening forming should be carried out in one operation. Drilling Due to its 11% to 14% manganese content the steel is difficult to drill and will work harden very quickly. Heavy duty and very rigid machinery is required using either armour piercing drills in 8% cobalt high speed steel, or preferably use special drills with replaceable carbide inserts. Try to avoid centre punching or allowing the drill to rub on the surface without the feed being engaged, as this will have the effect of work hardening. Welding With a high coefficient of thermal expansion and low thermal conductivity it is liable to distortion due to local overheating and welding should be carried out at a low thermal level. It is recommended to avoid welding at 300°C to 800°C as this can cause embrittlement due to carbide precipitation. Welding should be carried out using such as E308Mo type austenitic stainless consumables. We recommend you contact your welding consumables supplier who should provide you full assistance and information on welding high manganese steel. Typical Properties*
