Ferro Manganese (FeMn)


Ferro manganese (FeMn) is an alloy of iron and manganese usually containing about 80% manganese. This ferroalloy is used in steel production. It imparts metallurgical properties such as increased strength, hardness, toughness, and hardenability. The primary use of ferromanganese is as a type of processed manganese source to add to different types of steel, such as stainless steel. Ferro manganese is used as a degasser, deoxidizer, and desulphurizer in steel production, and removes nitrogen and other harmful elements that are found during iron melting. Used in manufacturing steel and, to a lesser extent, other metal alloys. Powders are useful in the welding industry.
