X120Mn12 high manganese steel is commonly used in applications where impact and wear are prevalent, with a unique combination of properties, X120Mn12 wear-resistant steel is a high manganese (12-14%) steel alloy that also contains carbon (about 1.2%) and other elements such as trace amounts of silicon, phosphorus and sulfur. The high manganese content gives this steel excellent wear resistance and work hardening capabilities.
Work Hardening: X120Mn12 high manganese wear-resistant steel steel is work hardened, and the material becomes harder and more wear-resistant when impacted or deformed.
Toughness: Despite its high hardness, X120Mn12 manganese steel plate maintains excellent toughness and can absorb high impact forces without cracking.
Wear Resistance: The high manganese content provides excellent wear resistance, making it ideal for applications involving sliding or abrasive materials.Machinability: X120Mn12 manganese steel can be machined and requires heat treatment or annealing to facilitate machining.
Applications
Mining Equipment: Buckets, liners and teeth of excavators and loaders operating in abrasive environments.
Aggregate and Cement Industries: Components of crushers, mills and conveyors that handle abrasive materials.
Railway Industry: Turnouts, turnout blades and other track parts that are frequently subject to impact and wear.
Shipbuilding: Components that are subject to wear from sand, gravel or ice, such as hopper doors and wear plates.
Agriculture: Parts of soil tillage equipment (such as plows and harrows) that come into contact with the ground.
