Manganese Steel (Hadfield) Casting in Pakistan

Lahore Casting pours Manganese Steel (Hadfield) (Mn13, Mn18) to order at Mominpura Road, Lahore, Pakistan, by sand casting from 1 kg to 500 kg. Austenitic steel with 12-14% manganese. It arrives soft and gets hard where it is hit: the surface work-hardens under impact while the core stays tough, so it wears in rather than out. Every heat is checked on an OES spectrometer before pouring and a material test certificate is issued on request.

ConditionSolution treated and water quenched, never used as-cast
ManganeseMn13 about 12-14%, Mn18 about 17-19%

When to choose it

Use Manganese Steel when: The part is struck repeatedly: jaw plates, cone liners, blow bars, hammer tips, mill and chute liners.

Choose something else when: There is abrasion but no impact - it never hardens and wears fast. Use high chrome iron.
