Recent advancements in manganese steels – A review

This article reviews the current state of the art in understanding manganese steels. The standard manganese steel (Hadfield’s Manganese) has roughly 12% manganese and 1.2% carbon. This approximate 10 to 1 ratio from Hadfield’s work. Then there is High manganese steels with 18–31% Mn with higher carbon content upto 1.9%, higher manganese grades require elevated carbon levels in order to achieve the desired increase in service life. And other...
