Our investment casting process (lost-wax casting) ensures that even the most complex geometries are produced with exceptional dimensional accuracy and a superior surface finish.


Why Choose Manganese Steel for Your Components?

Manganese steel is unique because of its work-hardening properties. The more impact and stress the surface receives, the harder it becomes, while the core remains tough and ductile.

  • Extreme Wear Resistance: Ideal for parts subject to heavy abrasion.

  • High Impact Strength: Does not become brittle; absorbs shocks that would shatter other steels.

  • Work Hardening: Surface hardness can increase from 200 Brinell to over 500 Brinell during service.

  • Non-Magnetic Properties: Useful for specific electrical and industrial applications.


Our Manganese Casting Capabilities

We produce a wide range of manganese alloy grades tailored to your specific wear requirements:

Grade Key Characteristic Typical Application
Standard Manganese (11-14% Mn) Excellent toughness/wear balance Crusher jaws, liners
High Manganese (17-21% Mn) Enhanced work-hardening rate Impact bars, hammer mills
Chrome-Moly Manganese Increased yield strength Heavy-duty mining equipment

Precision at Every Step

  1. Tooling & Pattern Making: High-precision wax injection.

  2. Ceramic Shell Building: Multi-layered refractory coating for fine detail.

  3. Controlled Melting: Utilizing induction furnaces for precise chemical composition.

  4. Specialized Heat Treatment: Water quenching to ensure a fully austenitic structure for maximum toughness.
