The first and arguably most critical step in producing high-quality jaw crusher castings is selecting the right grade of manganese steel. Jaw plates and liners are cast from Hadfield steel, which contains approximately 12–14% manganese and 1–1.2% carbon. This composition gives the steel its defining property—work hardening—which allows it to become tougher with use. Nantong Haoshun Casting Co., Ltd. uses only certified raw materials that meet stringent metallurgical standards. The company’s purchasing system ensures traceability and consistent chemical composition, eliminating variability that could compromise casting integrity. These materials are also subjected to rigorous pre-production analysis to verify chemical balance and impurity content, thereby laying the groundwork for a structurally sound product.
Once the materials are selected, they are melted in electric arc furnaces or medium-frequency induction furnaces. The melting process must be controlled precisely to maintain the correct temperature and prevent oxidation or segregation of alloying elements. Nantong Haoshun utilizes advanced furnace control systems that monitor melt temperature, slag composition, and deoxidation levels. Through careful alloy adjustment and deoxidation techniques, the company ensures the melt maintains optimal fluidity and homogeneity. This guarantees that castings poured from the melt exhibit uniform properties throughout their structure—an essential feature in components such as jaw plates that experience variable loading during crushing operations.
The shape and dimensions of Jaw Crusher High Manganese Steel Castings are determined during the molding stage. Molds must be capable of withstanding high temperatures and allow proper solidification without distortion, shrinkage, or surface defects. Nantong Haoshun Casting Co., Ltd. uses high-quality resin sand and green sand molding technologies depending on the complexity and size of the component. The company pays close attention to mold design, including the layout of gating and riser systems, to minimize turbulence during pouring and eliminate shrinkage cavities. The result is a casting with clean surfaces, tight tolerances, and minimal post-processing requirements. 3D modeling and simulation software are integrated into the mold design process. These digital tools allow Nantong Haoshun to predict potential issues—such as hot spots, voids, or misruns—before physical production begins. This proactive approach significantly reduces the rejection rate and enhances the reliability of the finished castings.
Heat treatment is essential for high manganese steel to develop its full mechanical properties. As-cast high manganese steel is relatively soft and ductile. Only after a carefully controlled solution treatment—performed at temperatures between 1000°C and 1100°C—can the steel be transformed into its wear-resistant form. Nantong Haoshun operates advanced heat treatment facilities that allow precise control over temperature, soaking time, and quenching media. The solution treatment dissolves carbides into the austenitic matrix, after which rapid water quenching locks the structure in a metastable austenitic form. This structure is highly tough and resistant to crack propagation, and it hardens when subjected to impact—exactly the environment found in jaw crushers. Improper heat treatment can lead to residual carbides, embrittlement, or reduced work hardenability. By adhering to strict thermal processing protocols and using automated temperature monitoring systems, Nantong Haoshun Casting Co., Ltd. ensures the mechanical reliability and wear performance of every casting.
After casting and heat treatment, components are machined to their final dimensions. Given the abrasive nature of manganese steel, this step requires specialized tooling and techniques. Precision in machining ensures proper fit within the crusher assembly and optimal interaction with mating parts. Nantong Haoshun employs CNC machining centers and vertical lathes to finish critical dimensions on components such as jaw plates, liners, and wedges. Each part undergoes dimensional verification and geometric tolerance testing to guarantee compatibility with customer specifications. Surface treatment—such as shot blasting or coating—may also be applied to enhance appearance or resistance to oxidation during storage and transport.
Every casting produced by Nantong Haoshun Casting Co., Ltd. goes through multiple layers of quality inspection. These include:
Visual and dimensional inspection
Ultrasonic testing (UT) for internal defects
Magnetic particle testing (MT) for surface cracks
Chemical composition verification using spectrometers
Hardness testing to confirm heat treatment effectiveness
Only after passing all these tests is the casting approved for delivery. This thorough quality assurance system ensures that end-users receive jaw crusher components that perform reliably, even in the most aggressive crushing environments.
Even the best casting can be compromised if not handled and shipped correctly. Recognizing this, Nantong Haoshun uses reinforced wooden crates and moisture-resistant packaging to protect castings during transit. The company's proximity to major logistics routes—such as Ningqi Expressway, Provincial Highway 335, and Nantong Airport—further facilitates the prompt and secure delivery of orders, whether domestically or internationally. The company exports Jaw Crusher High Manganese Steel Castings to more than 10 countries and regions, including Southeast Asia and parts of Europe. Its reputation for punctual delivery and product consistency has earned it long-standing partnerships in these markets.
In an industry where downtime is costly, continuous improvement is essential. Nantong Haoshun Casting Co., Ltd. actively solicits feedback from OEMs and end-users regarding the field performance of its castings. This feedback is used to refine alloy compositions, improve casting designs, and develop new variants that offer even greater wear life. The company also invests in employee training, advanced equipment upgrades, and R&D collaborations to stay ahead in a competitive market. As a result, Nantong Haoshun is not only a trusted manufacturer but also a solutions partner for customers seeking optimal crushing performance from their equipment.
