Crusher Parts Material Specifications

Detailed specifications of high manganese steel, high chromium cast iron, alloy steel and other materials — hardness, chemistry and applications.

High Manganese Steel

Mn13Cr2

High Manganese Steel
Hardness

HB 200–250 (work-hardened HB 500+)

Application

Jaw plates, liners, moderate impact

Standard high manganese steel with 13% Mn and 2% Cr. Initial hardness HB 200–250, work-hardens to HB 500+ under impact. Cost-effective for moderate impact and abrasive conditions.

Mn18Cr2

High Manganese Steel
Hardness

HB 220–280 (work-hardened HB 550+)

Application

Jaw plates, mantles, impact plates, high impact

Upgraded high manganese steel, 18% Mn + 2% Cr. Greater work-hardening capacity for high-impact, high-abrasion conditions. 20–30% longer service life than Mn13Cr2.

Mn18Cr2+Ti

High Manganese Steel
Hardness

HB 240–300 (work-hardened HB 580+)

Application

Mantles, jaw plates, severe impact

Ti micro-alloyed Mn18Cr2 — Ti refines grain structure, suppresses carbide precipitation, and enhances toughness and work-hardening rate. For severe impact conditions.

Mn22Cr2

High Manganese Steel
Hardness

HB 250–320 (work-hardened HB 600+)

Application

Large gyratory liners, extreme impact

Super-high manganese steel, 22% Mn + 2% Cr. Maximum work-hardening under extreme impact. Ideal for large gyratory crusher primary liners.

High Chromium Cast Iron

Cr26

High Chromium Cast Iron
Hardness

HRC 58–62

Application

Blow bars, impact plates, high abrasion

Martensitic high chromium cast iron, 26% Cr with Cr7C3 carbides in martensitic matrix. Extreme abrasion resistance for high-abrasion, low-impact conditions.

Cr26+Mo

High Chromium Cast Iron
Hardness

HRC 60–64

Application

Blow bars, VSI rotor tips, combined wear

Mo-alloyed Cr26 — Mo refines carbides and strengthens matrix for improved impact toughness and wear resistance balance.

Alloy Steel

42CrMo4

Alloy Steel
Hardness

HRC 28–35 (quenched & tempered)

Application

Main shafts, eccentric shafts, structural parts

Medium-carbon alloy structural steel. Q&T treated for excellent combined mechanical properties: high strength, good toughness and fatigue resistance. Preferred for forged main and eccentric shafts.

Wear Resistant Steel

Hardox 450/500

Wear Resistant Steel
Hardness

HB 450 / HB 500

Application

Feed plates, distribution plates, liner protection

SSAB wear plate with Brinell hardness HB 450–500. Excellent wear resistance and weldability. Used for feed plates, distribution plates and moderate-wear liners.

Cemented Carbide

Tungsten Carbide

Cemented Carbide
Hardness

HRA 85–90

Application

VSI rotor tips, extreme wear

Tungsten carbide inserts, hardness HRA 85–90, 5–10× the wear life of high chrome iron. First choice for VSI rotor tips under extreme wear conditions.

Copper Alloy

CuPb15Sn8

Copper Alloy
Hardness

HB 70–90

Application

Eccentric bushings, main shaft bushings

Lead bronze bearing alloy with excellent anti-friction and load-carrying capacity. Used for cone crusher eccentric and main shaft bushings for smooth operation.
