Why is Manganese Steel Casting a Significant Investment?

Manganese steel, known as mangalloy, is a specific form of alloy steel that contains about 13% of manganese on average. It has high impact strength and resistance to abrasion in the work-hardened state. Hence, it is highly tough and ductile. The steel also has excellent hardening capabilities, but at times, this limits its range of application. The technicians cannot cut it conventionally and have to use laser or plasma cutting.

You can consult the manganese steel casting manufacturer to get the best end product. Because of its feature and property, it is considered the ultimate work hardening steel.

Usage and Application

Manganese steel is widely used for different industrial applications. Owing to its self-hardening property, manganese steel is also utilized in the mining sector. It is used for cement mixers, rock crushers, shovel buckets and elevators, crawler treads, and the rail industry. It is suitable for areas or environment which undergo high impact.

Sometimes, manganese steel is also used in making window bars at prisons. Nowadays the manufacturers use it to make bulletproof cabinets, anti-drill plates, and safes.

Manganese steel has high wear and work-hardening properties. The non-magnetic property makes it ideal for assembling electrical transformers and lifting magnets at the industries.

Magnalloy is difficult to cut by machining. Hence often, the casters refer to it as having zero machinability. You cannot soften the metal by annealing. It hardens with rapid cutting and after the use of grinding tools.

The operatives drill it with extreme difficulty, either using carbide or diamond. If heated, it can crumble when you hammer it. It is tougher than carbon steel if you heat it. You can cut it smoothly using an oxy-acetylene torch; however, plasma or laser cutting is impactful.

Manganese Steel Casting Process

At the casting foundry, the casters perform manganese steel alloy casting after strictly following industry standards. The main processes include the following–

• Pouring Simulation
• Mold Development
• Inspection of raw material
• Creation of the Wax Pattern
• Shell Preparation
• Metal Pouring
• Cleaning and Heating treatment
• Inspection and Shipping

Characteristics

Manganese steel casting provides high strength wear and steel resistance. The finished products can withstand shock, material wear, extrusion, bad working conditions, etc. This is one of the most important characteristics of high manganese steel casting. It has great toughness, along with the plasticity of a hardening layer with good wear resistance.
