Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Electric Locomotive
German term or phrase: Hartmangan
"Die Zug- und Bremskräfte werden über mit Hartmangan plattierte und gefederte Anschläge vom Drehgestell auf den Drehzapfen bzw. Lokkasten übertragen."

From a text about a kind of electric locomotive. Mangan is manganese, so is Hartmangen simply hard manganese, or does it have some other specific name? TIA for your help.

austenitic manganese steel or Hadfield manganese steel
Explanation:
I am currently translating a book on ferrous materials. Hartmangan = Manganhartstahl. This is a special type of heat-treated steel.
See the ref. for more information that you'll ever want to know.

I'm not sure about this and I'm also not sure about the hyphen.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Kevin Lossner: Plausible enough. It certainly isn't braunite in this context.
41 mins
agree  transatgees: Named after the Sheffield-based company which invented this steel (15% manganese, if I remember correctly).
57 mins
  -> good memory: "....containing about 1.2% C and 12% Mn, was invented by Sir Robert Hadfield in 1882....." Some some reason, Prof. Berns insists on using Hadfield manganese steel rather than austenitic, well, he is one of the foremost German experts

austenitic hard manganese steel


Explanation:
Not absolutely sure, as I don't see the "steel" element, but the reference below talks about it in conjunction with railway components:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5170932.html

What I don't know is whether the steel must by definition be austenitic (i.e. would martensitic steel form an equally tenacious alloy?).
