Flame cutting Manganese steel?
Flame cutting Manganese steel?
(OP)
We have received an inquiry asking if we can flame cut Manganese steel plate, up to 2". We usually don't cut anything more exotic than 4140 plate. Are there any problems/limitations? I found a couple supplier sites discussing flame cutting, with seemingly contradictory statements.

RE: Flame cutting Manganese steel?
I have seen users of plates upto 12 mm using these after gas cutting,without any heat treatment. However, the carbon in these plates is about 0.6%.
