For wear parts exposed to sufficient compression, impact and plastic deformation. Typical applications include jaw plates, gyratory and cone crusher mantles and concaves, feeder impact plates and selected high-impact liners. Specify the grade, heat treatment and acceptance criteria by drawing and duty.
Under severe impact, compression and repeated plastic deformation, the working surface of austenitic manganese steel can progressively harden while the core retains toughness. In low-stress sliding wear with insufficient impact or plastic deformation, work hardening may be limited and manganese steel may not be economical.
These parts can benefit from the work-hardening behaviour of manganese steel. Compare wear plate, alloy steel and composite options for each application.
Check tooth profile, feed size, discharge setting, ore hardness, tramp metal and plate rotation history.
Match chamber geometry, CSS, feed distribution, installed power and actual wear profile; the equipment name alone does not determine the material.
For low-impact chute sidewalls and purely sliding wear, also compare quenched and tempered wear plate, ceramic and polymer liners.
Relate material performance to the installation position. Use this table to prepare an inquiry and avoid specifying by grade name alone.
| Part / Position | Main Conditions and Failure Modes | Required Manganese Steel Properties | Required Application Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed and Movable Jaw Plates | Cyclic compression, impact, tooth crest wear and sliding near the discharge end. | Impact toughness and surface work hardening, with control of cracking at tooth roots and mounting faces. | Equipment model, tooth profile, ore, feed size, CSS and current service life. |
| Gyratory Crusher Mantles / Concaves | Continuous high-throughput compression, uneven wear, local impact and profile changes. | Toughness, work hardening, stable chamber geometry and consistent microstructure in thick sections. | Chamber drawing, installed power, feed distribution, liner thickness and wear scans. |
| Cone Crusher Mantle / Bowl Liner | Continuous compression, abrasion, tramp metal and uneven feed. | A balance of impact and profile wear resistance to reduce early fracture and loosening. | Series and chamber, CSS, speed, ore compressive strength and tramp metal history. |
| Apron Feeder Pans / Impact Plates | Large-lump drop impacts, bending, stresses near chain links and surface wear. | Impact absorption, resistance to deformation and wear, and integrity around holes. | Drop height, maximum lump size, individual part weight, support, hole positions and load cycle. |
| Hopper Impact Liners | Concentrated drop impact, sliding wear and damage around mounting holes. | Develop a work-hardened surface in high-impact areas while retaining fracture resistance. | Material trajectory, impact angle, particle hardness, temperature and liner fastening. |
ASTM A128/A128M covers austenitic manganese steel castings and alloyed variants, requiring suitable heat treatment for toughness and ductility. Composition and acceptance requirements follow the purchase drawings or technical agreement.
Check the engineering grade, heat chemistry, alloy additions and traceability; the name manganese steel does not replace a material specification.
Match heat treatment to maximum section thickness and furnace loading. Record heating, soaking, transfer and cooling to avoid residual brittle microstructures.
Select visual, dimensional and PT inspection according to part risk. MT is not suitable for austenitic manganese steel; UT requires a validated procedure. Reinspect weld repairs to the same quality requirements.
Check mounting faces, hole spacing, weight, matching chamber geometry and initial clearances. Record wear profiles as well as total tonnage processed.
Use the equipment and part links to check confirmed OEM drawing numbers, part numbers, applicable models and inquiry requirements.
Other Material Applications: Gears, pinions, girth gears, main shafts, bushings, sprockets and bearing housings carry loads or transmit power. Select their materials separately for fatigue, strength, surface hardening and fits; manganese wear part specifications do not automatically apply.
