High Manganese Steel Plate and High Carbon Steel: What are the Differences?
Steel is a widely used material in various industries due to its exceptional strength and durability. However, not all steel is created equal. High manganese steel plate and high carbon steel are two types of steel that are commonly used in different applications. Let’s examine the key differences between high manganese steel plate and high carbon steel.

How Are AR Plates Created?
Abrasion resistant steel plates (AR plates) are a critical component in many industrial applications where durability and toughness are essential. These plates are designed to withstand high levels of wear and tear, making them ideal for use in mining, construction, and manufacturing industries.
The Benefits of Plasma Steel Cutting
Plasma cutting uses GASSES to slice through steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Essentially, the process entails directing a stream of ionized gas at high pressure and velocity through a nozzle while simultaneously heating the gas to very high temperatures using an electric arc that melts the metal. Compressed air is then used to blow away the molten metal, resulting in a smoother, cleaner cut when compared to the use of an oxygen-acetylene torch. In some cases where its important to maintain the chemical structure on either side of the cut (known as the Heat Affected Zone or HAZ), the steel is submerged underwater when it is being cut or melted.
What Makes Steel Abrasion Resistant?
Abrasion resistant steel is mainly used for applications where abrasion and wear are the causes of failure, and not in infrastructure like buildings or bridges. Typical uses include buckets and other heavy equipment attachments, dump and trailer bodies, concrete mixers, garbage trucks, wear liners and wear parts, such as cutting edges.
