Hadfield Manganese Steel
Austenitic manganese steel known for its high impact strength and resistance to abrasion once work-hardened.
Hadfield Steel: Work-Hardening Champion
Hadfield steel, or varying grades of austenitic manganese steel (typically 12-14% Mn), is unique in that it is extremely tough and work-hardens under impact. The more you beat it, the harder it gets.
Key Features & Properties
- Work Hardening: Surface hardness increases dramatically under impact (up to 600 HB).
- Toughness: Unmatched toughness and ductility in the core.
- Non-Magnetic: Austenitic structure makes it non-magnetic.
- Wear: Excellent resistance to gouging abrasion.
Typical Applications
- Crusher jaws and cones
- Railroad crossings and frogs
- Mining shovel teeth and buckets
- Shot blast cabinet liners
Technical Specifications
This steel is difficult to machine and is usually cast or ground. It is the material of choice for high-impact wear applications.
