Manganese Steel GR B-3 Chemical Composition Requirements

Carbon: 1.12-1.28
Manganese: 11.5-14.0
Silicon: 1.00 max
Phosphorus: 0.070 max

Manganese Steel GR B-3 Mechanical Property

No Mechanical Property required in standard.

Manganese Steel GR B-3 Heat Treatment Requirement

Grade B3 shall be suitably heat treated to achieve toughness and ductility. This heat treatment shall consist of uniformly heating the castings to a temperature applicable for grade of steel produced, at least 1800°F [1000°C], and holding until the temperature is uniform throughout and quenching in an applicable medium, normally water.

For further machining, anneal is recommended at the temperature from 900 to 1100°F [500 to 600°C].

ASTM A128 Grade B-3 WELDABILITY

Manganese steel do not have good welding performance. No preheat required and control the temperature in 300 °C to avoid brittle, welded after quenching.

Manganese Steel ASTM A128 GR B-3 Application

the material is mainly used as wear-resistant steel castings, such as impact curtain, crushing chamber, crushers, blow bars, impact plates, side liners
