In this article, let Baowu show you the differences between manganese steel and carbon steel.

Manganese steel, also known as manganese alloy steel, is a kind of high-strength steel. It is mainly used to withstand harsh working conditions such as impact, extrusion, and material wear. Suitable for under-engine guards.

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218% to 2.11%. Also called carbon steel. Generally also contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus. Generally, the higher the carbon content in carbon steel, the greater the hardness and the higher the strength, but the lower the plasticity.

However, the difference between these two materials is mainly in the following aspects:

Different properties:

Carbon steel material: iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218% to 2.11%.

Manganese steel: A high-strength steel.

Features are different:

Carbon steel material characteristics: It contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur and phosphorus. And the higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness and strength, and the lower the plasticity.

Manganese steel features: Under strong impact and extrusion conditions, the surface hardens rapidly, maintaining the good toughness and plasticity of the core austenite, and the hardened layer has good wear resistance. This is unmatched by other materials. However, the wear resistance of high manganese steel only shows its superiority when it has sufficient work hardening conditions, and in other cases it is very poor.

Different applications:

Application of carbon steel material: It is mainly used to manufacture relatively important mechanical parts with complex shapes and high mechanical properties, but it is difficult to form by forging and other methods in the process, such as gearbox casings of automobiles, couplers and couplings of locomotives and vehicles Wait.

Manganese steel application: Since the resistance of manganese steel changes little with temperature, it is used to manufacture precision electronic instruments. And manganese steel is an excellent material for crushing parts of the crusher.

The above is the definition of manganese steel and carbon steel and the difference between them. If you want to know more, please pay attention to Baowu at any time.
