Product Details
Manganese wear plate refers to high manganese (Mn) steel plates that exhibit exceptional wear resistance under impact and abrasion. High manganese steel is widely used in mining, cement, metallurgy, and material handling, particularly for crusher liners, mill liners, and excavator teeth.
While Mn13 is the most commonly used grade, other high manganese grades such as Mn16, Mn17, Mn18, and Mn20 are also available, each tailored for specific wear and impact requirements.

Impact Resistance: Ideal for high-shock environments
Durable: Extends service life, reduces maintenance costs
Customizable: Can be cut, drilled, and welded for specific applications
3. Summary Table of High Manganese Steel Grades
| Grade | Mn (%) | C (%) | Hardness (HB) | Key Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mn13 | 12–14 | 1.0–1.3 | 200–260 (annealed) | Crusher liners, mill liners, bucket teeth |
| Mn16 | 15–17 | 1.0–1.3 | 220–280 | Medium-impact crusher parts, mill liners |
| Mn17 | 16.5–17.5 | 1.0–1.3 | 240–300 | High-impact crusher plates, hoppers |
| Mn18 | 17–18 | 1.0–1.3 | 250–320 | Severe abrasion and impact, mining machinery |
| Mn20 | 19–21 | 1.1–1.3 | 280–360 | Hard rock crushers, heavy-duty liners, ore processing equipment |
4. Conclusion
High manganese steel wear plates offer a combination of impact toughness, abrasion resistance, and work-hardening capability.
Choosing the right grade depends on abrasion severity, impact intensity, and application environment:
Mn13–Mn16: Moderate wear and impact
Mn17–Mn18: Severe abrasion with repeated impact
Mn20: Extreme wear and heavy-duty impact environments
These materials are widely used in mining, construction, cement, and material handling industries, ensuring longer service life and reduced maintenance costs.
