Manganese cast is widely used in wear blow bars due to its exceptional combination of toughness, impact resistance, and work-hardening properties. When blow bars made from manganese steel are subjected to high-impact forces during crushing, their surface hardens through a process called strain hardening or work hardening. This means that the harder the blow bar is hit, the tougher and more wear-resistant its surface becomes, extending the service life significantly compared to other materials. This unique characteristic makes manganese cast blow bars ideal for crushing operations involving heavy impact loads and abrasive materials, such as in mining, quarrying, and recycling industries.
Moreover, manganese steel exhibits excellent ductility, allowing blow bars to absorb shocks and impacts without fracturing easily. This is crucial for maintaining crusher uptime and avoiding unexpected failures. The alloy’s toughness also reduces the risk of cracking under sudden loads or material jams, which are common in crushing applications. Compared to high-chrome or other hardened steels, manganese cast blow bars offer a better balance between hardness and toughness, which helps prevent premature failure and costly downtime.
Additionally, manganese blow bars are relatively easy to machine and manufacture, which allows for precise fitting and optimized designs to improve crushing efficiency and reduce vibrations. The material’s ability to work harden in service also means that minor surface wear leads to the development of a protective hard layer, further slowing down degradation. This combination of mechanical properties, wear resistance, and economic feasibility makes manganese cast the preferred choice for wear blow bars in many crushing plants worldwide.
