I agree with @Shubham, cr is a wear resistant and generally cr is used along with other alloys to improve wear resistance.

But why not chromium?

Cr also increases strength and resist corrosion answer fatigue.

Answer is manganese why I am supporting this manganese act as antioxidant element it may resist crack and reacts with sulphur and form magnesium sulphide to avoid crack.
