Manganese Steel Scrap

Discarded fragments of high-manganese steel (Hadfield steel) from worn mining and crushing equipment, containing 11-14% manganese. These are waste and scrap of manganese articles because manganese is the predominant metal by weight, and the fragments are not usable as equipment.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide a certificate of analysis confirming manganese content of 11-14% and that it predominates by weight over other metals

• Describe the material as worn equipment fragments to support the waste classification

• Ensure the material is not usable as mining or crushing equipment
