Austenitic manganese steel used for making jaws of crushing machines contains about ______________ percent manganese?

Correct answer: D. 12-14

  • A. 1.5-2
  • B. 3.5-4.5
  • C. 7-9
  • D. 12-14

Explanation

Austenitic manganese steel, or Hadfield steel, normally contains about 12-14% manganese and is used for crusher jaws because it work-hardens under impact and abrasion. The lower manganese ranges do not produce this characteristic structure.
