Why manganese jaw plates fail at 60% of expected life
Work hardening only helps if the casting reaches you fully austenitic.
Most premature manganese failures are not caused by the ore. They are caused by carbide networks left in the structure because the soak was short, the quench was late, or the section was too heavy for the cycle used. This piece walks through what to look for on a micrograph, and what to ask your supplier for.
