6. NEVER USE MANGANESE IN ABRASION AREAS

NOVEMBER 13 ,

Manganese steel stands up to constant impact longer than any other known material. Once work hardened, it will significantly resist impact longer than high carbon steel or cast iron, and will develop some abrasive wear resistance.

However, Abrasion Wear from sand or other fine materials with little impact, will rapidly wear away the surface. Abrasion resistance of Manganese steel as cast without impact, is no greater than mild steel. It is also less abrasive resistant than heat treated high carbon steel.
