WHAT METHODS ARE EASILY USED TO WORK MANGANAL?
It can be flame cut by oxy-acetylene torch, cut by abrasive cut-off machine and electric welded. Shearing, bending and rolling require heavy equipment which has at least twice the capacity that would be needed for the same thickness of mild steel. • CAN MANGANAL BARS, PLATE, AND CASTINGS BE HEAT TREATED FOR HIGH HARDNESS? Not from any practical standpoint. Alloy and carbon steels are hardened by heating and quenching. High-manganese steel under this treatment becomes ductile and tough. • THEN HOW CAN MANGANAL STEEL BE HARDENED TO RESIST WEAR? Only by work-hardening. Refer to question and answer #2.
