Titus Mn is produced to the original “Hadfield Specification” which guarantees optimum wear and work hardening properties. It is “non-magnetic”. Manganese Steel Advantages WORK HARDENING refers to the fact that the steel becomes harder and harder the more it is impacted or compressed. The “Hadfield” grade has an original hardness of approximately 220 Brinell. With continued impact and /or compression, it will surface harden to over 550 Brinell. It should be noted that only the outer skin surface hardens. The under layer remains highly ductile and tough. As the surface wears, it continually renews itself, becoming harder and harder. Manganese Steel (Manganal) is an austenitic steel which means it is non-magnetic. This property makes it useful in many applications such as bottom plates for lifting magnets, separator drum shells for magnetic materials, wear shoes on electric brakes, etc. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION (TYPICAL) Grade ASTM 128 B2 C (%) Mn (%) Si (%) S (%) P (%) Titus Mn 1.13 – 1.20 11.5 – 14.0 < 0.40 < 0.003 < 0.020 MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS Titus 11-14% Hadfield Manganese Vs Low Carbon Manganese Hardness Comparison – 30-50% Longer Service Life 100 additional Brinell points of hardness 35% more carbon for more hardness 85% less Sulfur 85% less fatigue cracks in service Composition – Titus Manganese vs. Low Carbon Manganese C S P Mn Titus Mn 1.15 .003 .015 13.0 Low Carbon Mn .85 .020 .015 12.0 30-50% Longer Service Life C S P Actual Shot blast Test (side by side) a) Angular Shot .133 .100 b) Spherical Shot .146 .100 Titus 11-14% Manganese Surface work-hardens from 220 to 550 Brinell upon impact Fully austenitic/non-magnetic 4% Carbon and other alloys allow for work-hardening Superior to low-carbon grades Shot Blast Equipment Liners Abrasive, Non-Magnetic Applications Rail Bolster Plates Magnetic Drum Liners Crusher Liners Crusher/Shredder Hammers & Hammer Build-Up Stock Tubes Crusher Breaker Plates & Bars Shovel Bucket Pins Jaw Crusher Build-Ups Security Bars Grizzly Bars Available on plate, from Ultra-thin 4mm up to 2” and bar stock in flats, rounds, and squares.
