MANGANESE STEEL PLATE

Tensamang from Clifton Steel is a Hadfield Grade Manganese Steel plate designed to work harden with impact while maintaining good ductility and toughness. With impact, Tensamang develops a hard surface that reaches 550 Brinell while maintaining a ductile core. Tensamang, as it wears, acquires a polished surface with good lubricity, allowing an easy, positive flow of material across its surface.

Hardness
550 BHN

Cutting
Tensamang Manganese Steel Plate can be cut with plasma, oxy-Acetylene, laser, and water jet as well as with abrasive cut off saws.

Machining
Tensamang Manganese Steel Plate is not considered a machinable grade. However, Clifton Steel has developed the ability to drill, tap, and grind this grade of steel. Consult Clifton Steel for your fabrication needs.

Forming
Tensamang Manganese Steel Plate can be cold formed. Reheating Tensamang will result in carbide precipitation and embrittlement. Hot forming is not recommended.

Welding
Welding is easily accomplished with Tensamang Electrodes or S.A. Wire, or AWS 303 or 304 stainless electrodes. Ductility will be increased in the fusion zone by penning. Preheating is not recommended.

Thermal Treatment
Tensamang is heated to 1800+ ° until temperature is uniform throughout and rapidly quenched in water to produce an austenitic structure. The as-quenched hardness is about 200 BHN.
