In heavy construction and mining, equipment must endure extreme abrasion, impact, and wear. 12–14% manganese steel sheets offer a unique edge—they’re engineered to toughen under stress, making them ideal for excavator buckets, blades, and digging components that face constant strain.
What Are 12–14% Manganese Steel Sheets?
These are high-manganese alloy steel sheets featuring 12–14% manganese content. They exhibit exceptional work-hardening ability, which means the surface hardens under use while retaining a tough, malleable core—perfect for parts that need both strength and resilience.
