Surface Forms
Morphology
austenitic + manganese + steel
The term is fully compositional: 'austenitic' describes the microstructure, 'manganese' names the alloying element, and 'steel' is the base metal, so the meaning 'a type of steel with austenitic structure containing manganese' is directly derivable from the parts. Although technical, this is a predictable noun phrase construction found across languages, so a learner who knows the constituent words would understand the MWE.
Etymology
Austenitic manganese steel takes its name from the metal manganese and from a scientist whose name became austenitic. This steel gets harder when it is hit, so it 'does not wear out easily' and 'can take heavy shocks', which is why people use it for very tough parts.
