Silicon Manganese

Silicon manganese is a ferroalloy composed primarily of manganese, silicon and iron, along with carbon and other elements. Manufactured in China, it is mainly used in steel production as a composite deoxidizer and alloying agent. The product is available in 65/17 and 60/14 grades with multiple size options for metallurgical applications.

• Grade 60/14:

1. Mn: 60%
2. Si: 14%
3. C: 2.5%
4. P: 0.3%
5. S: 0.05%

• Sizes: 10-50 mm, 10-60 mm and 10-70 mm

 

Features:

• Silicon manganese combines manganese and silicon for use in metallurgical processing. The strong affinity of manganese and silicon with oxygen supports its application as a composite deoxidizing material in steelmaking.
• It is mainly used as an intermediate material for deoxidation and alloying during steel production. The alloy also serves as a raw material for producing medium- and low-carbon ferromanganese.

 

Applications:

Silicon manganese is widely used in steelmaking as a deoxidizer and alloying agent. Different silicon manganese alloys may also be used in low-carbon iron smelting and other metal-smelting applications, depending on the required composition.

The product is offered by a manufacturer based in China in different grades and particle sizes to meet steelmaking and ferroalloy production requirements.
