Material X120mn12

X120Mn12 is a high manganese austenitic steel widely used as a wear-resistant material. In addition to X120Mn12, there are several commonly used steel grades designed for high-impact and abrasion-resistant applications. These grades differ mainly in manganese content, carbon content, and hardness, allowing engineers to select the most suitable material for a specific environment.

Common Wear-Resistant Steel Grades

1. High Manganese Steels

These steels are fully austenitic and known for work-hardening under impact. Examples include:

• X120Mn12 / 1.3401: European DIN grade with 11–14% Mn, 1.1–1.4% C.

• Mn13: Chinese GB grade similar to X120Mn12, widely used in mining and crusher applications.

• Hadfield Steel: Classic manganese steel with similar composition, renowned for impact and abrasion resistance.

Applications: Crusher liners, grinding mill liners, bucket liners, impact hammers.

2. Medium Manganese and Medium Carbon Wear Steels

• X100Mn12 / Mn12: Slightly lower carbon content, moderate work-hardening, used where extreme hardness is not required.

• X120Mn13: Higher manganese for better austenite stabilization and wear performance.

Applications: Conveyor liners, chutes, hoppers, and moderately abrasive environments.

3. Low-Alloy Wear-Resistant Steels

These steels combine high hardness with toughness, usually through quenching and tempering. Common examples:

• AR400 / AR500 (Abrasion Resistant Steel): Used in heavy wear applications where high hardness is required from the start.

• NM360 / NM400: Non-magnetic or low-magnetic wear-resistant steels with balanced toughness.

Applications: Mining equipment, earth-moving machines, wear plates.

4. Specialized High Hardness Steels

• Hardox 400 / 500: Quenched and tempered steels with high hardness for extreme abrasion resistance.

• NM600 / NM700: Used in high-impact, high-abrasion environments such as cement, quarry, and heavy machinery.
