High-manganese austenitic steels Mn13, X120Mn12, and Mn12 are renowned for their exceptional toughness and work-hardening capabilities. Under high-impact conditions, the steel surface undergoes significant hardening, with hardness increasing from an initial 200 HB to above 750 HB. This makes Mn13, X120Mn12, and Mn12 ideal for applications in heavy-duty environments where continuous abrasion and impact are prevalent, such as mining, construction, and industrial equipment.
