DESCRIPTION
Silicomanganese, also known as ferrosilicomanganese or simply silicomanganese, is a ferroalloy composed of manganese, silicon, and iron.
It is produced by smelting manganese ore, quartz, and iron ore in a blast furnace or electric arc furnace. Silicomanganese is widely used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the production of steel and other ferrous alloys. It is added to molten steel to remove oxygen and sulfur, and to improve the strength, hardness, and toughness of the steel.
Silicomanganese also enhances the resistance of steel to corrosion and wear. In addition to its use in the steel industry, silicomanganese is also used in the production of other alloys, such as aluminum-silicon-manganese alloys used in the automotive industry. It can also be used as a raw material in the production of welding electrodes, batteries, and other products.
Silicomanganese is available in different grades depending on the silicon and manganese content, and typically contains between 60 to 70 percent manganese and 10 to 20 percent silicon. The product is available in different forms, including lumps, powder, and briquettes.
| grade | Mnmin | Si min | P max | S max | C max |
| Mn65Si17 | 65 | 17 | 0.25 | 0.04 | 2.5 |
| Mn60Si14 | 60 | 14 | 0.3 | 0.05 | 2.5 |
