“Ferromanganese is an alloy composed primarily of iron and manganese, with trace amounts of other elements such as silicon, carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus. This alloy is widely used in the production of steel, where it serves as a deoxidizer and an alloying agent to improve the steel’s hardness, durability, and resistance to corrosion. The composition of ferromanganese can vary, but it typically contains between 65% to 80% manganese and the remainder iron. The production process involves reducing manganese ore in a submerged arc furnace, often using carbon as a reducing agent. The resulting alloy is essential in various industrial applications, particularly in the metallurgical and manufacturing sectors.”
