Silico Manganese
Silico Manganese is an essential alloying element used in the production of steel, providing desirable properties such as increased strength and resistance to corrosion. Our Silico Manganese is composed of 60-65% manganese (Mn), 14.0% maximum silicon (Si), 2.5% maximum carbon (C), and trace amounts of phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S). Available in sizes ranging from 10-50mm, with a minimum of 90% compliance, or customizable as per your requirements, our Silico Manganese ensures consistent and reliable performance in your steel manufacturing processes.
Uses
