A work-hardenable austenitic manganese steel has a base composition (each in percent by weight) of 0.7 to 1.7 carbon, 5.0 to 18.0 manganese, 0 to 3.0 chromium, 0 to 4.0 nickel, 0 to 2.5 molybdenum, 0.1 to 0.9 silicon, up to 0.1 phosphorus and contains micro-alloying elements of 0.0 to 0.05 titanium, 0.0 to 0.05 zirconium and 0.0 to 0.05 vanadium; the remainder being iron and impurities arising from the melting process. The ratio of carbon to manganese is in the range of 1:4 to 1:14 and the total amount of micro-alloying elements is limited to a range of 0.002 to 0.05 percent by weight. The melt of the base composition is tapped at 1,450 DEG C. to 1,600 DEG C. into a casting ladle in which the micro-alloying elements are added. An ingot is cast, cooled, reheated to austenitization temperatures and quenched.
