Product Overview
The Mn18Cr2 high manganese steel jaw crusher plate is the core wear-resistant component in primary and secondary crushing equipment. Manufactured by Shandong Hengtai Intelligent Manufacturing through strict water toughening treatment at 1050-1100°C, this crusher liner plate delivers exceptional performance in abrasion resistance, impact strength, and structural stability. It has become the long-term designated mining wear parts supply for numerous international mining enterprises and aggregate producers.
Unlike ordinary high manganese steel, our Mn18Cr2 alloy contains precisely controlled 18% manganese and 2% chromium, enabling rapid work-hardening under impact loads. The surface hardness increases from an initial 230-255 HBW to over 550 HBW during operation, providing 2-3 times the wear resistance of standard crusher plates. This makes it the ideal choice for demanding quarry crusher parts applications where downtime is costly.
As a professional crusher plate manufacturer with over 15 years of experience, we provide OEM crusher parts customization for all major jaw crusher brands including Metso, Sandvik, Terex, and domestic Chinese models. Each plate undergoes rigorous quality inspection including spectral analysis, ultrasonic testing, and dimensional verification before shipment.
💡 Selection Guide: For abrasive materials with high silica content (quartzite, granite), we recommend Mn18Cr2 grade. For limestone and softer materials, Mn13Cr2 offers optimal cost-performance. Contact our engineers with your material analysis report for professional material selection recommendations.

Working Principle & Material Behavior
1. Feeding & Initial Contact
Raw material enters the crushing chamber and contacts the fixed jaw plate. The Mn18Cr2 surface begins initial work hardening under light impact.
2. Compression Crushing
The movable jaw plate approaches the fixed plate, creating compression force. Material is crushed between the tooth profiles. Surface hardness increases progressively.
3. Work Hardening Activation
Under continuous impact (especially from hard materials), the austenitic structure transforms to martensite. Surface hardness reaches ≥550 HBW while maintaining core toughness.
4. Discharge & Cycle
Crushed material discharges through the outlet gap. The self-sharpening tooth profile maintains efficient crushing geometry throughout the wear cycle.
Key Advantage of Mn18Cr2: The high manganese content (18%) ensures complete austenitization during water toughening, while the 2% chromium addition improves hardenability and corrosion resistance. This unique metallurgical combination allows the plate to become harder and more wear-resistant as it operates, unlike fixed-hardness materials that wear uniformly.
Quality Assurance & Manufacturing Process
Manufacturing Standards: ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certified. All production processes follow GB/T 5680 (High Manganese Steel Castings) and ASTM A128 standards.
Production Process Control

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the function of the high manganese steel jaw crusher plate in crushing equipment?
The jaw crusher plate is the core wear-resistant component in crushing equipment, directly participating in material extrusion and crushing. As a critical crusher spare part, its performance directly affects crushing efficiency, equipment stability, and overall operating costs. The plate must withstand high impact loads and abrasive wear while maintaining structural integrity.
Q2: What are the advantages of Mn18Cr2 high manganese steel plate compared with ordinary plates?
Mn18Cr2 high manganese steel contains 18% manganese and 2% chromium. Under high-impact working conditions, it rapidly forms a high-hardness work-hardened layer on the surface. Its wear resistance is 2-3 times that of ordinary high manganese steel plates, making it ideal for mining wear parts and quarry crusher parts applications where reliability is critical.
Q3: Why does the jaw crusher plate become more wear-resistant with use?
During continuous impact and extrusion of materials, the plate surface undergoes work hardening. The hardness increases from the initial 230-255 HBW to ≥550 HBW, significantly enhancing wear resistance. This unique metallurgical property of austenitic manganese steel makes it the preferred material for heavy-duty crusher liner plates.
Q4: Is this plate prone to fracture or block falling during operation?
No. The elongation rate of Mn18Cr2 high manganese steel reaches 35%-50% with excellent toughness. It can withstand continuous impact of large, high-hardness materials, effectively avoiding chipping and block falling. This impact resistance is crucial for reliable mining crusher parts performance in demanding conditions.
Q5: What crushing working conditions is the Mn18Cr2 jaw crusher plate suitable for?
It is suitable for high-impact and high-load working conditions, especially for primary and secondary crushing operations in mines and production lines requiring long-term continuous operation. The plate operates stably at temperatures up to 350°C, making it versatile for various crushing equipment applications.
Q6: What materials can be crushed using Mn18Cr2 jaw crusher plates?
It is suitable for high-hardness materials such as granite, basalt, quartz stone and iron ore, as well as various ores and rocks such as limestone, copper ore and gold ore. These applications are common in mining wear parts and aggregate production environments worldwide.
Q7: Is the performance stable in high-temperature environments?
Yes. The plate can operate stably for long periods at working conditions up to 350°C, with minimal attenuation of hardness and toughness. This thermal stability makes it suitable for complex and harsh industrial environments including cement plants and steel slag processing facilities.
Q8: Does the tooth profile design affect crushing efficiency?
Yes. A scientifically designed tooth profile improves the crushing ratio, reduces ineffective friction, lowers energy consumption, improves finished product particle shape, and enhances overall equipment operation efficiency. Our optimized tooth profile design increases throughput by 15-20% compared to standard profiles.
Q9: Is customization available for different jaw crusher models?
Yes. We provide OEM crusher parts customization according to jaw crusher model, feed inlet size, and working condition requirements. We support all major brands including Metso, Sandvik, Terex, and Chinese domestic models. Custom specifications, tooth profiles, and weights are available with 15-25 day lead time.
Q10: What practical benefits can be gained after replacing with Mn18Cr2 high manganese steel plates?
Users can significantly extend service life, reduce shutdown replacement frequency, improve equipment operation rate, and lower comprehensive maintenance and production costs. For large-scale mining operations, this translates to 30-40% reduction in wear parts costs annually. Particularly suitable for large-scale mines and export projects requiring reliable crusher spare parts supply.
