Product Description
High Manganese Steel (also known as Hadfield Steel or Mangalloy) is a unique alloy designed for the most severe service conditions involving high-impact and abrasive wear. Its legendary toughness makes it the material of choice for components in mining, quarrying, and heavy industry.
Yile Machinery has the specialized expertise and equipment required to precision-machine high manganese steel into custom shafts, bushings, liners, and other wear parts built to your exact specifications.
Unlike other steels, high manganese steel (typically containing 11-14% manganese) possesses a remarkable property called work hardening.
In its initial state, the steel is relatively soft and extremely tough, allowing it to absorb massive impacts without fracturing.
Under repeated impact or high-pressure abrasion, the surface layer transforms, becoming incredibly hard (up to 550 BHN). This hard surface constantly renews itself as the component wears.
This results in a component with:
Extreme Impact Resistance: Unparalleled ability to withstand shock loads.
Superior Abrasion Resistance: The self-hardening surface provides exceptional life in high-wear environments.
Extended Service Life: Lasts significantly longer than conventional carbon or alloy steels in the right applications.
The same properties that make manganese steel so durable also make it one of the most difficult materials to machine. Its "gummy" texture and tendency to rapidly work-harden during cutting can defeat conventional tools and processes.
Our Expertise is Your Advantage.
Successfully machining manganese steel requires:
Specialized Tooling: Use of carbide and ceramic cutting tools designed for tough alloys.
Rigid, High-Power Machinery: Machines that can handle low cutting speeds and high torque without chatter.
Process Expertise: Deep knowledge of the correct feeds, speeds, and cutting depths to manage heat and prevent work hardening during the machining process.
We produce custom-machined wear parts for a wide range of high-impact industries:
Mining, Aggregate & Quarrying: Crusher shafts, mantle liners, cone liners, grizzly bars.
Cement Production: Mill liners, hammer mill components.
Scrap Recycling: Shredder hammers, grates, and liners.
Railroad: Frogs and track crossings.
We can manufacture a variety of components from your technical drawings, including:
Heavy-Duty Shafts
Wear-Resistant Bearing Bushings & Liners
Crusher and Mill Internal Components
Custom Wear Plates
